(*) 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 talents as creators. Their first joint exhibition was organized in 1961. In that 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 marked the starting point of thousands of proposals, including numerous realizations, poetic wrapping projects, and gigantic works that express the ephemeral as artistic expression. The couple moved to New York in 1964 and Christo and Jeanne-Claude became US citizens. They take possession of space, wrap, cut, color, monuments and landscapes, giving to the 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 champion their projects themselves, producing them with their own means. For each project they execute preparatory drawings, graphic works (lithographs and screenprints), 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 dotted with 7,500 gate-like structures 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.
