by Jane Garmey

For its 16th Orchid Show, the New York Botanical Garden’s annual March bedazzler, the beloved Bronx institution has taken a new direction.

This is evident in a photocollage of Lower Manhattan with cloaked silhouettes of 2 Broadway and 20 Exchange Place, made during the artists’ initial stay at the Hotel Chelsea and reproduced in the new monograph Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Urban Projects. “I have a real need to appropriate reality,” Christo is quoted as saying in 1968. “By wrapping, I directly appropriate certain elements of reality.”
