Christo and Jeanne-Claude on AllMovie

The collaboration of artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude has resulted in unparalleled works of art that are strikingly innovative in their scale and ambition. In Christo and Jeanne-Claude, the viewer can get an idea of the enormous amount of work that goes into each project, some taking over 20 years to complete. Many, if not all of their projects meet opposition, partly because they are public artworks, and must have the approval of officials. In the face of so much disapproval, they have managed to complete an impressive number of works, including Valley Curtain, Wrapped Coast, and Wrapped Reichstag (German Parliament building).
