The work of the artist couple Christo (1935–2020) and Jeanne-Claude (1935–2009) resists categorization. It is a hybrid of art, urban planning, architecture, and engineering, but above all an aesthetic uniquely their own:
surreal and ethereal environmental interventions that have graced monuments, public parks, and centers of power alike
.
This compact book spans the complete career of the couple who were born on the very same day, met in Paris, fell in love, and became
a creative team like no other
. With rich illustration, it spans Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s earliest projects in the 1950s right through to
The Floating Piers,
installed at Lake Iseo, Italy, in 2016. The book celebrates all of the couple’s most famous environmental interventions, such as
The Gates
in New York’s Central Park and the
Wrapped Reichstag
in Berlin, while also featuring
early drawings and family photos
unknown to the wider public.
