(*) 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 unite their talents as creators. The first exhibition of the two artists was organized in 1961. In the same year they created packaging in 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 marks the starting point of thousands of proposals, among which numerous wrapping projects, poetic and gigantic, that seek to express ephemerality as artistic expression.
The couple settled in New York in 1964, and Christo and Jeanne-Claude became American citizens. They take ownership of space, wrap, cut, color, 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 distinguished themselves 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 presented in New York in early 2005. It is a 37-kilometer walk through Central Park studded with 7,500 gates wrapped in saffron-colored fabric. Their next project is titled “Over the Arkansas River”; it will be installed in Colorado.
Christo died at the age of eighty-four, on May 31, 2020.
