<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Discover Christo and Jeanne-Claude, the artist duo who were born on the same day, met in Paris, fell in love, and became a unique creative partnership that took on Central Park, the German Reichstag, Biscayne Bay, and beyond with their vast and extraordinary environmental interventions.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The work of the artist couple Christo (1935-2020) and Jeanne-Claude (1935-2009) resists categorization. It is a hybrid of art, urban planning, architecture, and engineering, but above all an aesthetic uniquely their own: surreal and ethereal environmental interventions that have graced monuments, public parks, and centers of power alike.</p><p>This compact book spans the complete career of the couple who were born on the very same day, met in Paris, fell in love, and became a creative team like no other. With rich illustration, it spans Christo and Jeanne-Claude's earliest projects in the 1950s right through to The Floating Piers, installed at Lake Iseo, Italy, in 2016. The book celebrates all of the couple's most famous environmental interventions, such as The Gates in New York's Central Park and the Wrapped Reichstag in Berlin, while also featuring early drawings and family photos unknown to the wider public.</p><p></p><p>About the series</p><p>Born back in 1985, the Basic Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art book collection ever published. Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art series features: </p><p>a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance</p><p>a concise biography</p><p>approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions</p>
