The first Christo and Jean-Claude work collected by Herb and Dorothy Vogel was a collage entitled Valley Curtain, a preliminary piece for their environmental installation in Rifle, Colorado, 1970-1972, by the same name. The addition of the collage to the Vogel collection led to a friendship spanning almost 40 years.
There was a missed opportunity earlier this year to see a Christo/Jean-Claude exhibit in Detroit which may have been especially meaningful since Jean-Claude unexpectedly and suddenly passed away last November - a lesson for me about hesitation.
