Christo et Jeanne-Claude

French

By (author): Jacob Baal-Teshuva

Illustrated by: Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Taschen

The work of the artist couple Christo (19352020) and Jeanne-Claude (19352009) 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-Claudes earliest projects in the 1950s right through to The Floating Piers, installed at Lake Iseo, Italy, in 2016. The book celebrates all of the couples most famous environmental interventions, such as The Gates in New Yorks Central Park and the Wrapped Reichstag in Berlin, while also featuring early drawings and family photos unknown to the wider public.
