christo and jeanne-claude
The city of Paris is unveiling a monumental artwork built around an actual monument: the Arc de Triomphe completely wrapped in silver and blue fabric.
Along with late wife Jeanne-Claude, the artists’ careers were defined by their ambitious art projects that disappeared soon after they were erected.
“My decision process was that, like many others, I never believed that Trump would be elected.”
Christo "would transform a racist project into a public art event."
WHAT'S HAPPENING
For Christo and Jeanne-Claude, art and magic are interchangeable.
