Christo And Jeanne-claude by Burt Chernow

Christo And Jeanne-claude by Burt Chernow

For forty years, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, the husband-and-wife team behind countless headline-grabbing art projects all over the world, have been challenging our view of the world - natural or man-made - by giving us wrapped creations of dizzying magnitude and daring beauty, such as 'Surrounded Islands', which consisted of enveloping eleven islands with seven square miles of hot pink material. This is the first fully authorised biography of these celebrated and controversial artists, illustrated with 50 b/w photos and one 16-page colour photo insert.

Burt Chernow lectured at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and was a professor of art history at Housatonic College in Bridgeport, Connecticut. He was also the founder and Director Emeritus of the Housatonic Museum of Art. The author of many books and essays, he died in 1997.
Wolfgang Volz's photographs have appeared in Art, GEO, Paris Match, Der Spiegel, Life, and Time magazines. He has worked with Christo and Jeanne-Claude since 1972 and is the exclusive photographer of their work. He was also technical director of the project to wrap the Reichstag. He lives with his wife, Sylvie, in Dusseldorf, Germany.
