(*) Christo Vladimirov Javacheff was born in 1935 in Babrovo (Bulgaria). He studied fine arts in Sofia between 1952 and 1956. Christo settled in Paris in 1958 and met Jeanne-Claude de Guillebon, born the same year as him. They married and decided to combine their talents as creators. Their first joint exhibition was organized in 1961. In the same year they created wrappings in the port of Cologne. The following year, as a protest against the Berlin Wall, they carried out in Paris, on rue Visconti, a gigantic assemblage by stacking oil and gasoline drums. This period marked the starting point of thousands of proposals, among which numerous realizations, poetic and gigantic packaging projects that seek to express the ephemeral as an artistic expression. The couple moved to New York in 1964 and Christo and Jeanne-Claude became North American citizens. They seize space, wrap, cut, color, monuments and landscapes, giving the urban, rural or maritime landscapes of their choice a new sculptural dimension (Valley Curtain, Running Fence, Surrounded Islands, Biscayne Bay, Pont Neuf in Paris, Reichstag in Berlin…). Christo and Jeanne-Claude are distinguished by the fact that they themselves advocate their projects, produce them with their own means. For each of them they execute preparatory drawings, graphic works (lithographs and serigraphs), collages, maquettes and films whose sale funds the project itself. “The Gates,” their latest realization, was presented in New York in early 2005. It is a 37-kilometer walkway through Central Park dotted with 7,500 arches wrapped in saffron-colored fabric. Their next project is titled “Above the Arkansas River”; it will be installed in Colorado. Christo died at the age of eighty-four, on May 31, 2020.
