Résumé : Un ouvrage sur l'envers de l'oeuvre du peintre, qui a compris très tôt l'importance croissante des médias et les a utilisés à son avantage. La photographie a été pour lui un moyen de présenter ses modèles, comme ses Anthropométries et ses peintures de feu, décidant lui-même par qui et comment être photographié, en studio, en voyage... Avec des portraits non autorisés et inédits. ©Electre 2017

Résumé : On May 31, 2020, Christo passed away at the age of 84. His last project, the wrapping of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, will be realized posthumously in the fall of 2021. Currently, a major exhibition at PalaisPopulaire in Berlin is celebrating the 25th anniversary of thewrapping of the Reichstag, while the Pompidou Center is paying tribute to Christo and Jeanne-Claude with a comprehensive show highlighting their early years in Paris. Shortly before Christo’s death, Matthias Koddenberg, art historian and longtime friend of both Christo and his wife and artistic partner Jeanne-Claude, who passed away in 2009, edited an extensive collection of interviews in close collaboration with the artist. The book is composed of many conversations which the author conducted with Christo in the artist’s New York studio over the last years. In these interviews, Christo describes with rare frankness how he fled his native Bulgaria and made his way into the Western world. He talks about his time in Vienna and Geneva, his vibrant life in Paris that was also full of hardship, and the fateful moment when he met Jeanne-Claude. This publication unites texts and numerous archival images and photographs, many of which have never been published before or depict early works by Christo that have only recently been rediscovered.

Résumé : “Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Urban Projects” is the first retrospective museum exhibition since the 1980s of the urban projects created by Christo and Jeanne-Claude. It will be shown from the 25th of October 2017 to the 25th of February 2018 at the ING Art Center, Place Royale 6, 1000 Brussels.A unique opportunity to gain a comprehensive insight into the creative process of this unclassifiable artist couple. To evoke a number of urban projects by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, the exhibition seeks through a careful selection of around eighty original works, whether or not these were ever carried out, ranging from Wall of Oil Barrels, Rue Visconti, Paris, 1961-62 up to the important urban project The Gates that Christo and Jeanne-Claude realized for the city of New York in 2005.These urban works of art were created by temporarily appropriating buildings, monuments or public places with a deeply symbolic value. The works are selected and displayed in such a way as to emphasise the crucial importance of drawing in the genesis, evolution and aesthetic crystallisation of each of the projects. Christo sees drawing as “a path towards the real” and indulges this passion daily. The exhibition presents a series of emblematic works, from the first schematic sketches, usually in small format, to the final drawings, complex and often large-format collages in which colour, textural effects and volume bring out their visionary character, offering a real foretaste of the actual in situ projects.

Résumé : A la fois biographie, critique et catalogue, cet ouvrage présente l'oeuvre des artistes contemporains Christo et Jeanne-Claude, célèbres pour leurs emballages de monuments. Il couvre tout leur travail depuis les premiers dessins jusqu'aux futurs projets et offre également une conversation entre Jeanne-Claude, peu avant son décès, et l'auteur sur le travail du couple. ©Electre 2019
