Christo und Jeanne-Claude artworks and editions

Christo and Jeanne-Claude were one of the most renowned artist couples of the contemporary. Since Jeanne-Claude’s death in 2009, Christo has continued their designed projects. Their iconic art of packaging covers objects, structures of the public space, and even whole buildings.

Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s artworks are the result of longstanding planning. The preparation of these giant projects require an interdisciplinary team, precise agreements with authorities, and independent financing. The artist couple understood the process of covering as a mean of visualisation. Covering a familiar object of the public space provides the spectator with greater awareness for this object. In addition to this, Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s artworks are constantly characterised by a high level of aesthetics and access, which contributes to the popularity of their art significantly.
