Christo was born at Casablanca, Morocco, on the 13th of June 1935. Jeanne-Claude was also born on the 13th of June 1935 but he was born in a place called Gabrovo, Bulgaria and died on the 18th of November 2009.
Although their work in my opinion is visually impressive and often controversial as a result of its scale. The purpose of their art, they contend, is simply to create works of art or joy and beauty and to create new ways of seeing familiar landscapes.Both Christo and Jeanne is best known for producing enormous packaging projects: he wraps parks, buildings, and entire outdoor landscapes.
Christo has collaborated with his wife Jeanne-Claude for over 40 years on these projects. The two earn the huge amounts of money required to execute their monumental works by executing and then selling preparatory drawings to collectors and dealers. Christo typically creates temporary wrappings generally lasting several weeks on a vast scale. Borrowing land, structures, and spaces used and built by the public.
In Christo’s printed and three-dimensional work, Christo wraps an object, challenging the viewer to accurately remember the concealed object and giving it the notion of rarity because it is inaccessible.
Wrapping historic structures in silvery fabric and blue cable has become a famous tradition for Christo and Jeanne-Claude.
