Christo

Christo was a contemporary artist known for creating large-scale environmental works of art, often involving fabric or other materials used to wrap and transform landscapes and architectural structures. His projects, such as the wrapping of the Reichstag in Berlin and the creation of the "Gates" in Central Park, aimed to engage the public’s perception of space and nature. Collaborating with his wife, Jeanne-Claude, Christo's work emphasized the temporary nature of art and the experience of seeing familiar places in a new light. Their installations invited viewers to reflect on art, environment, and the passage of time.
