Description: The works of married couple Christo (Bulgaria 1935-2020) and Jeanne-Claude (Morocco 1935-2019) are environmental works of art. Monumental in their scope, they are always ephemeral, created to exist only for a defined time and leave behind only unique, incomparable impressions. The retrospective exhibition Christo and Jeanne-Claude is a new and unprecedented look at the landscape and their most current art. From their beginnings in 1958 with the first proposals for intervention and evolving towards large-scale public projects -whose purpose is art itself, in the words of the artists- the retrospective brings together their early works, called Early Works and reaches to their latest projects. The set of documentary photographs and the presence of the artists during the realization of their interventions in a selection of documentaries gives the exhibition an extensive and deep panorama of their art.
Notes: Published on the occasion of the exhibition held May 14, 2020 - July, 2022 at the Fundación PROA, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
