Christo, also known as Christo Vladimirov Javacheff, was a renowned artist recognized for his large-scale environmental installations, which often included wrapping landmarks and natural elements in fabric. Alongside his wife Jeanne-Claude, they collaborated on visually striking and controversial works like The Gates in New York City’s Central Park. They funded their projects by selling their own artwork, rejecting external funding sources. Christo devoted his professional life to detailed planning, execution, and the exploration of joy, beauty, and new perspectives through their art.
