Artist Christo Vladimirov Javacheff, known as Christo, passed away of natural causes on May 31, 2020, at his home in New York City. He was 84. Christo’s death was announced by his office on Facebook. Along with his late wife and lifelong collaborator Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon, who died in 2009, Bulgarian-born Christo created artwork transcending the bounds of painting, sculpture and architecture to create outdoor works and temporary large indoor installations.
Some of their best known work included Wrapped Coast, Little Bay in Sydney, Australia (1968–69), Valley Curtain in Colorado (1970–72), Running Fence in California (1972–76), Surrounded Islands in Miami (1980–83), The Pont Neuf Wrapped in Paris (1975–85), The Umbrellas in Japan and California (1984–91), Wrapped Reichstag in Berlin (1972–95), The Gates in New York’s Central Park (1979–2005), The Floating Piers at Italy’s Lake Iseo (2014–16), and The London Mastaba on London’s Serpentine Lake (2016–18). At the time of his death, Christo was actively working on his next project, the wrapping of Paris’ L’Arc de Triomphe. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the project, originally scheduled for the fall 2020, had been recently postponed by a year. Christo was born on June 13, 1935 in Gabrovo, Bulgaria. He left Bulgaria in 1957, first to Prague, Czechoslovakia, and then escaped to Vienna, Austria, then moved to Geneva, Switzerland. In 1958, Christo went to Paris, where he met Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon.
