Christo and Jeanne-Claude, commonly known as Christo, is the name associated with the following two artists : Christo Vladimirov Javacheff, born June 13, 1935 in Gabrovo in Bulgaria and Jeanne Claude Denat de Guillebon, also born June 13, 1935 in Casablanca, Morocco and dead November 2009 in New York. This couple of contemporary artists ("that packs geography and history") was made famous by its packaged objects. Naturalized American, they lived in New York in SoHo district.

The Christos realize a monumental and ephemeral work is what marks them originality, take as much time only for a result that will last only a short time. For Christo, their work is done to impress the audience and give new visions and a freedom cry. When a monument is wrapped, it acquires a different shape, a different identity, a whole new prestige: no one it recognizes.
