Christo and Jeanne-Claude

Christo and Jeanne-Claude were a couple and collaborative artists known for their large-scale environmental works that involved wrapping buildings, monuments, and natural elements in fabric. Their most famous projects include “The Gates” in New York's Central Park and “Wrapped Reichstag” in Berlin. These installations transformed familiar spaces, inviting viewers to see them anew. Their art focused on the relationship between art, the environment, and public perception, often requiring extensive planning and permission. They believed in the temporary nature of their installations, which encouraged appreciation for the fleeting beauty of art in public spaces.
