The Universe of Christo and Jeanne-Claude: A concise history of their art The work of the artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude transcends borders, resists categorizing, and embraces contradiction. This is the only compact book that includes all of their projects, from Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s works from 1958 to urban and rural temporary works of art, such as The Gates in Central Park, the Wrapped Reichstag in Berlin, and The Floating Piers, Project for Lago Iseo, Italy, which will be installed in 2016.This book gives a detailed overview of the life and work of Christo and Jeanne-Claude, from early drawings and family photos to plans for future projects, an incisive and detailed history spanning the entire oeuvre. It traces both the lives and the works of an artist couple who established a category all their own: a category somewhere between conceptual art, urban planning, architecture, politics, engineering and art.
