In Focus: Christian Marclay’s ‘Sleeves and Covers’ series at White Cube Paris ✨⁠ ⁠ For ‘Sleeves and Covers’, Christian Marclay works with 7", 10" and 12" vintage record sleeves and covers from the 1950s and 1960s, creating unique monotype impressions on paper.⁠ ⁠ The artist applies ink directly to the original record packaging before passing it through a roller press. The resulting ‘ghost image’ captures traces of the original sleeve, including its imagery, folds, creases and signs of wear and tear. ⁠ ⁠ The sleeves and covers are arranged in grids, their spare typographical designs reflecting a time when marketing records through the musician’s likeness was not yet common.⁠ ⁠ 📍 The exhibition is on view until 10 October 2026 at White Cube Paris.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Click the link in our bio to learn more.⁠ ⁠ #ChristianMarclay⁠ ⁠ Images: 1, 3-5: Printed at Huguenot Editions, Worton Hall Studios.
