| Christo (born as Christo
Vladimirov Javacheff, Bulgarian) and Jeanne-Claude (born
as Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon) are a married couple who
create environmental installation art. Their works include the
wrapping of the Reichstag in Berlin and the Pont Neuf bridge
in Paris, the 24-mile-long curtain called Running Fence in Marin
and Sonoma counties in California, and most recently The Gates
in New York City's Central Park. Coincidentally Christo and
Jeanne-Claude were born on the exact same date - 13 June 1935. |
| Although their work is visually impressive
and often controversial as a result of its scale, the artists
have repeatedly denied that their projects contain any deeper
meaning than their immediate aesthetic. The purpose of their
art, they contend, is simply to make the world a "more
beautiful place" or to create new ways of seeing familiar
landscapes. Art critic David Bourdon has described Christo's
wrappings as a "revelation through concealment." |
