Christo and Jeanne-Claude

Christo (born 1935) grew up as the son of an industrial family in Bulgaria. Jeanne-Claude (1935-2009) is the daughter of a French military family and she was educated in France and Switzerland. Jeanne-Claude died on 18.11.2009 in New York City. Christo studied from 1953 to 1956 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Sofia. In 1957, he studied for one semester at the Academy of Arts in Vienna. Since 1958, he lived in Paris where he and Jeanne-Claude met. From very early on in his artstic activity, Christo began wrapping objects. He followed the idea that the act of wrapping makes visible the banality and the excess of most objects that exist in our world. Jeanne-Claude always supported him in the realisation by negotiating with mayors, interest groups, environmental activists and residents to receive approval for the projects. (cru)
