(*) 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 join their creative talents. Their first joint exhibition was organized in 1961. In the same year they created wrappings at the port of Cologne. The following year, as a protest against the Berlin Wall, they created in Paris, on Rue Visconti, a gigantic assemblage stacking barrels of oil and gasoline. This period marks the starting point of thousands of proposals including numerous realizations, poetic wrappings projects, and gigantic works that seek to express the ephemeral as art.
The couple settled in New York in 1964 and Christo and Jeanne-Claude became American citizens. They took over space, wrapped, cut, colored, 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 defend their projects, producing them with their own means. For each of them they execute preparatory drawings, graphic works (lithographs and screenprints), collages, maquettes and films whose sale funds the project itself. “The Gates,” their latest realization, was shown in New York in early 2005. It is a 37-kilometer walk through Central Park dotted with 7,500 portal arches wrapped in saffron-colored fabric. Their next project is titled ”Over the Arkansas River”; it will be installed in Colorado.
Christo passed away at eighty-four on May 31, 2020.
