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.
