M. Ericsson Model\u003c\/em\u003e (1985) is one of the most technically distinctive and conceptually resonant works in Christo and Jeanne-Claude's print catalogue — a lithograph in colours that incorporates actual collage elements: real fabric, real twine, and a photograph, each physically adhered to the Arches paper surface and mounted to Museum board as issued. This is not merely a print of a wrapped object; it is itself a wrapped object, the collage materials making the work a three-dimensional extension of the same wrapping gesture that defined the artists' monumental environmental installations across five decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eChristo began his career in the early 1960s wrapping everyday objects — bottles, cans, chairs, telephones — before progressively expanding the scale of his ambition to encompass the Reichstag, the Pont Neuf, the Biscayne Bay, and the cliffs of Little Bay in Australia. The telephone belongs to that foundational moment: the domestic, the functional, the utterly familiar, subjected to a covering that simultaneously conceals and reveals — the object's form still legible beneath the fabric, the wrapping asserting both the object's presence and its transformation. In 1985, Christo and Jeanne-Claude collaborated with L. M. Ericsson — the Swedish telecommunications giant — to produce this edition, the choice of subject carrying a particular resonance: a communications device, wrapped and rendered mute, the instrument of speech silenced by the same gesture that makes it art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePublished by L. M. Ericsson, New Jersey — one of the most unusual publishing partners in the history of artist's prints, the corporate collaboration giving the work a further layer of conceptual interest — in a three-part edition structure: 100 numbered, 20 in Roman numerals, and 35 artist's proofs, with the artist's copyright stamp on the reverse. This example is numbered 97\/100. Referenced as S. 119 in the catalogue raisonné.
