Biography

Bulgarian-born American conceptual environmental artist, working in partnership with his wife, Jeanne-Claude, born the same day as him. The couple gained notoriety for wrapping large landmarks in polyester fabric, including the Pont-Neuf bridge in Paris (1985) and the Reichstag in Berlin (1995). They originally worked together under Christos name, but retroactively credited their outdoor installations to "Christo and Jeanne-Claude". They flew in separate planes: in case one crashed, the other could continue their work. Although their work is visually impressive and often controversial as a result of its scale, the artists repeatedly denied that their projects contain any deeper meaning than their immediate aesthetic impact. The purpose of their art, they contended, was simply to create works of art for joy, beauty, and new ways of seeing familiar landscapes. Christo and Jeanne-Claude married on 28 November 1959. Their son, Cyril, later a writer and filmmaker, was born on 11 May 1960. Jeanne-Claude died in New York City on 18 November 2009, from complications due to a brain aneurysm. In 1973, after 17 stateless years, Christo became a United States citizen. He died at his home in New York City on 31 May 2020 at age 84. No cause of death was specified.
