Together with his wife Jeanne-Claude, born on June 13, 1935, in Casablanca, Morocco, he created some of the most iconic temporary works of art of the 20th and 21st centuries. Christo began his artistic training at the National Academy of Art in Sofia before moving to Vienna in 1957 and later to Paris. In Paris, he encountered the avant-garde art scene and came into contact with artists such as Yves Klein and Jean Tinguely, whose radical approaches and experimental art forms influenced him. Christo’s early works included collages and assemblages, but it was his meeting with Jeanne-Claude in 1958 that marked the beginning of their joint career. Christo and Jeanne-Claude began their large-scale wrapping projects in the 1960s. An early example is “Rideau de Fer” (1962), in which they blocked a street in Paris with an iron wall. These works reflected the influence of the Arte Povera movement, led by artists such as Jannis Kounellis and Michelangelo Pistoletto, which transformed everyday materials and urban spaces into works of art.
