Christo + Jeanne Claude - 40th Anniversary Edition
Now in a compact edition, this is the most comprehensive overview of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s visionary work to date. Spanning their entire career—from early sketches and family photos to their most iconic large-scale installations—this volume captures the scale, ambition, and beauty of their art.
Temporary yet unforgettable, their projects—like The Floating Piers, The London Mastaba, and L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped—exist only for a moment, leaving lasting impressions. With hundreds of images, personal insights, and detailed project plans, this updated edition also offers a look at future works, including The Mastaba for the UAE.
Part biography, part catalogue, and part critical study, it includes the stunning photography of Wolfgang Volz and celebrates two artists who reimagined public space on a global scale.
