(*) Christo Vladimirov Javacheff was born in 1935 in Babrovo (Bulgaria). He studied fine arts in Sofia from 1952 to 1956. Christo settled in Paris in 1958 and met Jeanne-Claude de Guillebon, who was born the same year as him. They married and decided to unite their talents as creators. The first joint exhibition of the two artists 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 oil and gasoline drums. This period is the starting point of thousands of proposals among which numerous realizations, poetic packaging projects and gigantic works that aim to manifest the ephemeral as artistic expression.
The couple moved to New York in 1964 and Christo and Jeanne-Claude became North American citizens. They took possession of space, wrapped, cut, colored, monuments and landscapes giving urban, rural or maritime landscapes of their choosing 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 serigraphs), collages, maquettes and films whose sale funds the project itself. “The Gates,” their last realization, was presented in New York in early 2005. It is a 37-kilometer walk through Central Park punctuated by 7,500 gate arches wrapped with saffron-colored fabric. Their next project is titled “Over the Arkansas River”; it will be installed in Colorado.
Christo died at eighty-four on May 31, 2020.)
