About the Item
This rare exhibition poster, titled "Blue Umbrellas," commemorates the remarkable installation created by Christo and Jeanne-Claude in October 1991. The project featured 960 yellow umbrellas in a Californian valley north of Los Angeles and 920 blue umbrellas in a Japanese valley north of Tokyo. The installation aimed to highlight the similarities and differences between the two valleys and the two countries.
In a stunning demonstration of environmental art, Christo and Jeanne-Claude's "The Umbrellas" project spanned two continents, with striking blue umbrellas set in Japan and yellow umbrellas in California. The project was a profound exploration of the landscapes and cultural contexts of the two locations. This poster captures the essence of the Japanese installation, where 920 blue umbrellas transformed the valley into a mesmerizing visual experience.

ABOUT THE UMBRELLAS JAPAN-USA PROJECT:
At sunrise, on October 9, 1991, Christo and Jeanne-Claude's 1,880 workers began to open the 3,100 umbrellas in Ibaraki and California, in the presence of the artists at both sites. This Japan-USA temporary work of art reflected the similarities and differences in the ways of life and the use of the land in two inland valleys, one 12 miles (19 kilometers) long in Japan, and the other 18 miles (29 kilometers) long in the USA.
In Japan, the valley is located north of Hitachiota and south of Satomi, 75 miles (120 kilometers) north of Tokyo, around Route 349 and the Sato River, in the Prefecture of Ibaraki, on the properties of 459 private landowners and governmental agencies. In the USA, the valley is located 60 miles (96.5 kilometers) north of Los Angeles, along Interstate 5...
