Christo & Jeanne-Claude
Christo & Jeanne-Claude are an art duo, the married couple Christo Vladimirov Javacheff (1935-2020) and Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon (1935-2009), an iconic pair of innovative land-art artists. They are known for their large-scale installations: they are packing great historical landmarks, working with huge spaces and monumental natural objects. Their projects are distinguished by what they call "Americanism" in Europe - that is, something grandiose and large-scale. Christo and Jeanne-Claude's work is in many major public collections.
