About the book:
Part biography, part critical analysis, part catalogue – this updated edition brings back TASCHEN's Collector's Edition bestseller, designed by Christo himself. It showcases the entire oeuvre of Christo and Jeanne-Claude, from early drawings and family photos to plans for future projects. Hundreds of photographs and drawings document projects from the last decade, including The Floating Piers and The London Mastaba, as well as projects in progress like The Mastaba of Abu Dhabi and L’Arc de Triomphe Wrapped, Paris.

The edition includes a comprehensive photographic documentation by Wolfgang Volz, an updated introduction by Paul Goldberger, and the last conversation between the artists and Goldberger, held shortly before Jeanne-Claude’s death in 2009. The result is a tribute to Jeanne-Claude and a celebration of the work of an artist couple who shaped the landscapes of every continent.

Details:
The hardcover, released by TASCHEN in 2019, comprises 616 pages in multiple languages, combining photographs, drawings, and texts, and offering a comprehensive insight into the artistic creation of Christo and Jeanne-Claude. ISBN 9783836566995 (ISBN-10: 3836566990).

The Book of Colour Concepts "Farbenlehre" Goethe's theory of colours I. THEORETICAL PART Introduction to the Concept of Colour The subject of this work is the phenomenon of colour. It is not our intention to investigate the physical causes of colour. The phenomena of colour are therefore to be considered here in their entirety. THEORY OF COLOURS I. General Phenomena of Colour 1. The appearance of colours. In what circumstances do colours appear? Colours appear when light, under certain conditions, is affected by something else. In this case, two kinds of phenomena are to be distinguished: a) Light itself is the cause of colour. b) Light is the cause of colour, but something else is also at play. 2. The relationship between light and darkness. Light and darkness are not opposites. They are not to be understood as mutually exclusive. Rather, they are to be understood as intensifying each other. 3. Colour and the eye. The eye is the organ for colour. It is not possible to imagine colour without the eye. II. POLARITY The fundamental principle of all phenomena is polarity. This means that there are always two opposing forces at play. These forces are in a state of constant tension. This tension is what creates the phenomena. 1. Light and darkness as poles. Light and darkness are the primary poles. They are the basis of all other polarities. 2. Colour as a result of polarity. Colour arises from the interaction of light and darkness. The more intense the light, the more intense the colour. The more intense the darkness, the more intense the colour. 3. The spectrum. The spectrum is the visible manifestation of this polarity. It is a continuous gradation of colours. III. INTENSIFICATION The intensification of colours is a crucial aspect of colour perception. Colours are not static. They are dynamic. They change and evolve. 1. Through proximity. Colours intensify each other through proximity. A bright colour next to a dark colour will appear brighter. A dark colour next to a bright colour will appear darker. 2. Through contrast. Colours intensify each other through contrast. Complementary colours create the strongest contrast. 3. Through duration. Colours can intensify over time. This is particularly true of afterimages. IV. SYMPATHETIC AND ANTAGONISTIC EFFECTS Colours have psychological effects on us. These effects can be sympathetic or antagonistic. 1. Sympathetic effects. Certain colours evoke positive emotions. They are calming and harmonious. Examples: blue, green. 2. Antagonistic effects. Certain colours evoke negative emotions. They are jarring and unsettling. Examples: red, yellow. V. THE EMOTIONAL EFFECT OF COLOURS Colours have a profound impact on our emotional state. They can uplift or depress us. They can excite or calm us. 1. The calming effect of blue. Blue is associated with peace and tranquility. It is a cool colour. 2. The exciting effect of red. Red is associated with passion and energy. It is a warm colour. 3. The cheerful effect of yellow. Yellow is associated with happiness and optimism. It is a warm colour. PRACTICAL PART I. APPLICATION OF COLOUR THEORY The principles of colour theory can be applied in many fields. 1. Art and design. Artists and designers use colour to create mood and evoke emotion. 2. Architecture. Colour can be used to influence the perception of space. 3. Psychology. Colour therapy is a field that uses colour to treat psychological conditions. II. THE USE OF COLOUR IN PAINTING Colour is a fundamental element of painting. 1. Mixing colours. Understanding colour mixing is essential for painters. 2. Creating light and shadow. Colour can be used to create the illusion of light and shadow. 3. Evoking emotion. Painters use colour to evoke a wide range of emotions in their viewers. III. THE USE OF COLOUR IN ARCHITECTURE Colour plays a significant role in the design of buildings. 1. Creating atmosphere. Colour can be used to create a specific atmosphere or mood within a space. 2. Influencing perception. Colour can alter our perception of the size and shape of a room. 3. Symbolism. Colours often carry symbolic meanings in architecture. IV. THE USE OF COLOUR IN PSYCHOLOGY Colour therapy is a recognized field of practice. 1. Treating depression. Certain colours are used to alleviate symptoms of depression. 2. Reducing anxiety. Colours can be used to
