Short Review
This lithograph by Christo represents a street of an American metropolis. In the foreground on the right and left we see two buildings with many floors, while in the background and almost central Christo represents a skyscraper covered with fabric with threads that simulate the ropes with which the fabric was fixed to the building. The fabric has shading that helps to enhance its folds. In the lower part of the Christo skyscraper shows a strip of transparent polyethylene to represent the luminous signs of the building. At the bottom, above the adhesive tape, we notice on the right a crowd of people while to the left a bus and a car.
