Кристо е американски скулптор и художник от български произход, прославил се заедно със съпругата си Жан-Клод де Гийебон с оригиналните си пространствени художествени инсталации, опаковащи с плат различни предмети – от пишеща машина и телефон до цели сгради, острови и дори крайбрежие.
Artist Christo Vladimirov Javacheff, known as Christo, passed away of natural causes today at his home in New York City. He was 84 years old. . Statement from Christo's office: "Christo lived his life to the fullest, not only dreaming up what seemed impossible but realizing it. Christo and Jeanne-Claude's artwork brought people together in shared experiences across the globe, and their work lives on in our hearts and memories. Christo and Jeanne-Claude have always made clear that their artworks in progress be continued after their deaths. Per Christo’s wishes, 'L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped' in Paris, France, is still on track for Sept. 18–Oct. 3, 2021." . Christo was born on June 13, 1935 in Gabrovo, Bulgaria. He left Bulgaria in 1957, first to Prague, Czechoslovakia, and then escaped to Vienna, Austria, then moved to Geneva, Switzerland. In 1958, Christo went to Paris, where he met Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon, not only his wife but life partner in the creation of monumental environmental works of art. Jeanne-Claude passed away on November 18, 2009. Christo lived in New York City for 56 years. . From early wrapped objects to monumental outdoor projects, Christo and Jeanne-Claude's artwork transcended the traditional bounds of painting, sculpture and architecture. Some of their work included Wrapped Coast in Australia (1968–69), Valley Curtain in Colorado (1970–72), Running Fencein California (1972–76), Surrounded Islands in Miami (1980–83), The Pont Neuf Wrapped in Paris (1975–85), The Umbrellas in Japan and California (1984–91), Wrapped Reichstag in Berlin (1972–95), The Gates in New York’s Central Park (1979–2005), The Floating Piers at Italy's Lake Iseo (2014–16), and The London Mastaba on London's Serpentine Lake (2016–18). . Christo's temporary work of art in Paris, France, titled L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped (Project for Paris), is scheduled for Sept. 18–Oct. 3, 2021. Additionally, a major exhibition at the Centre Georges Pompidou about Christo and Jeanne-Claude's work and time in Paris will be on view this year, from July 1–Oct. 19, 2020. . In a 1958 letter Christo wrote, 'Beauty, science and art will always triumph.' We hold those words closely today.

Негови работи са опаковането на сградата на Райхстага в Берлин и на най-стария мост в Париж, опъването на 38-километрови платнени завеси в Калифорния и разполагането на платнени портали в Сентръл парк в Ню Йорк.
Today marks the 15th anniversary of the opening of The Gates in Central Park, New York, a temporary artwork by Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Over 16 days, The Gates (made up of 7,503 gates with saffron-colored fabric panels) attracted 4 million visitors and generated an estimated $254 million in economic activity. Today, to mark the occasion, Christo said "Mike Bloomberg has been an incredible champion for the arts, and we will all benefit from his leadership." @mike2020 #ArtsforMike #GetItDone Reposted from @artsformike

Тази година Кристо планираше нов проект в Париж. Роденият в България артист щеше да „опакова” Триумфалната арка във френската столица.
"Walking on Water" - the documentary film by @andrey_m_paounov about Christo's The Floating Piers project - hits US theaters in May. Don't miss it! Check out trailer released by @kinolorber.
