Christo is a sculptor known for co-creating large scale ephemeral works worldwide with his longtime artistic partner and wife, Jeanne-Claude (1935-2009). Over the span of his sixty-year career, Christo and Jeanne-Claude have created many public works involving the exterior wrapping of buildings, museums, and public spaces in canvas, tarp, and other materials.
Christo appears in conjunction with the UMMA exhibition Victors for Art: Michigan's Alumni Collectors—Part II: Abstraction (on view through October 29, 2017) which includes one of Christo’s drawings related to The Gates project.
This program is presented in partnership with the Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series with additional support from the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.
