Christo and Jeanne-Claude were a collaborative artistic duo known for their large-scale environmental works of art. They gained fame for wrapping buildings, bridges, and landscapes in fabric, transforming familiar sites into temporary installations. Their most notable projects include The Gates in Central Park and Wrapped Reichstag in Berlin.
The couple worked together for over 50 years, often using the medium of fabric to create visually striking and thought-provoking experiences. Their projects were funded entirely through the sale of their artwork, ensuring that the installations remained free for the public to enjoy.
