Works by Christo
Christo Vladimir Javacheff, artist and creator of Land Art, was a painter of abstract art in his youth. Later on, in collaboration with his wife Jeanne-Claude Denat, he set out to wrap various objects, to the point where he began wrapping large works such as city monuments and buildings, as well as entire landscapes, with large sheets of fabric.
