Jeanne-Claude @ Stern Pisarro Gallery

A special exhibition entitled Christo and Jeanne-Claude: A Life of Projects.
The pioneering and distinctive work of contemporary environmental artists Christo (b. 1935) and his wife Jeanne-Claude (1935-2009) has consistently delighted and thrilled admirers from across the world.  Their innovative and ambitious work – made according to Christo entirely for pleasure – is famously monumental in scale and often both conceals and reveals ‘space’ in new and surprising ways. Temporary in nature, the projects are funded entirely by the artists through their sale of original works by Christo.
We don’t have a philosophy of art. What is it that Christo and Jeanne-Claude do? We wish to create works of art, works of joy and of beauty. As with every true work of art, it has absolutely no purpose whatsoever: it is not a message, it is not a symbol, it is only a work of art. And like every true artist, we create those works of art for us and our collaborators.
