Christo & Jeanne-Claude

Christo and Jeanne-Claude were collaborative artists known for their monumental environmental installations that transformed landscapes and architectural landmarks through wrapping, fabric, and temporary structures. Their ambitious projects—often years in the making—reimagined familiar sites by altering scale, perception, and movement through space. Among their most celebrated works are Wrapped Reichstag in Berlin, The Gates in New York’s Central Park, and Running Fence in California. Entirely self-funded through the sale of preparatory drawings and collages, their projects emphasized artistic freedom and public engagement. Their work has been exhibited internationally and is represented in major museum collections including the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Centre Pompidou.
