Christo and Jeanne-Claude Art
Bulgarian, 1935-2020
Christo was born Christo Vladimirov Javacheff in Bulgaria in 1935. Encouraged by his mother, who was a former secretary to the director of the Sofia National Academy of Art, he began to take drawing and painting lessons at age six. He went on to study at the National Academy of Art in Sofia, Bulgaria, as well as one semester at the Fine Arts Academy in Vienna, Austria, in 1957. In 1958 he moved to Paris where he met Jeanne-Claude, who became his wife and partner in the creation of monumental environmental artworks, which transcended the traditional bounds of painting, sculpture and architecture. Among their works were “Wrapped Coast” near Sydney, Australia (1968-69); “Valley Curtain, Rifle, Colorado” (1970-72); “Running Fence” in California (1972-76); “Surrounded Islands” in Miami, Florida (1980-83); “The Pont Neuf Wrapped” in Paris (1975-85); “The Umbrellas” in Japan and California (1984-91); “Wrapped Reichstag” in Berlin, Germany (1972-95); “The Gates” in New York’s Central Park (1979-2005); “The Floating Piers” in Lake Iseo, Italy (2014-16); and “The London Mastaba” on Serpentine Lake in London (2016-18). Jeanne-Claude died in 2009 in New York, and Christo died there in 2020, leaving behind a work in progress, “L’Arc De Triomphe, Wrapped,” to be completed posthumously in 2021.(Biography provided by Rosenbaum Contemporary)

A great gift for anyone with ties to Chicago!
This limited-edition, hand signed offset lithograph on 110 lb. Crane Lettra Cover stock commemorates Christo's exhibition "Wrap In Wrap Out", which took place at the MCA’s original location on 237 East Ontario Street, Chicago. The project became the first public building Christo and his wife, Jeanne-Claude, wrapped in the United States. In an illuminating 2010 article entitled, "A daring plan to wrap a Chicago museum raises city ire – and makes art history," author Robin Amer recounts how Christo came to choose Chicago -- or rather how Chicago chose New York based artist Christo: "During a recent conversation he [Christo] ticked off the list of buildings he approached in downtown Manhattan starting in 1961. “Number 2 Broadway, number 20 Exchange Place,” he recalled. “We tried to wrap a building at Times Square. They all said no. Christo said he quickly realized that his best hope to wrap a building – his first in North America – would be to wrap a museum, which might be more amenable to his strange proposition.Christo and Jeanne-Claude approached New York’s Museum of Modern Art in 1967. The museum was interested, but Christo said they failed to secure permission for the show from the New York Fire...
