(*) 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, born the same year as him. They married and decided to unite their talents as creators. 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 assembly stacking barrels of oil and gasoline. This period marked the starting point of thousands of proposals, including numerous poetic and monumental wrapping works that aim to manifest the ephemeral as artistic expression.
The couple moved to New York in 1964 and Christo and Jeanne-Claude became American citizens. They took possession of space, wrapping, cutting, coloring, monuments and landscapes, giving to 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 were distinguished by the fact that they themselves defended their projects, produced them with their own means. For each project they prepared drawings, graphic works (lithographs and serigraphs), collages, maquettes, and films whose sale funds the project proper. “The Gates,” their latest realization, was presented in New York in early 2005. It is a 37-kilometer walk through Central Park lined with 7,500 gates wrapped in saffron-colored cloth. Their next project is titled “Over the Arkansas River”; it will be installed in Colorado.
