Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Updated Edition

About the Book:
Part biography, part critical analysis, part catalogue – this updated edition brings back TASCHEN’s Collector’s Edition bestseller, designed by Christo himself. It showcases the complete work of Christo and Jeanne-Claude, from early drawings and family photos to plans for future projects. Hundreds of photographs and drawings document projects from the last ten years, including The Floating Piers and The London Mastaba, as well as projects in progress such as The Mastaba of Abu Dhabi and L’Arc de Triomphe Wrapped, Paris.

The edition includes comprehensive photographic documentation by Wolfgang Volz, an updated introduction by Paul Goldberger, and the final conversation between the artists and Goldberger, conducted shortly before Jeanne-Claude’s death in 2009. The result is a tribute to Jeanne-Claude and a celebration of the work of an artist couple who shaped the landscapes of every continent.
