The Eye of Christo and Jeanne-Claude
Le photographe collabore depuis l'origine avec les deux plasticiens emballeurs et rend compte ici de leurs réalisations, de la barrière de voiles oranges de Valley Curtain à leur dernière réalisation, the Gates à Central Park. Les textes examinent chaque projet d'un point de vue technique.
Christo and Jeanne-Claude
Christo and Jeanne-Claude (b. Gabrovo, Bulgaria, 1935 /b. Casablanca, 1935, d. New York, 2009) were one of the most popular artist couples of our time. More than virtually any other team of partners in life and art, they succeeded in breaking out of the parochial art world and enchanting wide public audiences with their spectacular wrapping actions. They enveloped not just objects but entire buildings, islands, and landscapes. Among their best-known works are The Iron Curtain, Rue Visconti, Paris, 1962; Running Fence, California, 1976; The Pont Neuf Wrapped, Paris, 1985; Wrapped Reichstag, Berlin,1995; and, most recently, The Floating Piers, Lake Iseo,Italy, 2016. Since Jeanne-Claude's death...
Christo and Jeanne-Claude
Christo and Jeanne-Claude's Umbrella Project in 1991 was the most ambitious and expensive project they have ever undertaken. 1340 blue six metre umbrellas were assembled and erected throughout a narrow valley in rural Japan. 7000 yellow umbrellas were similarly prepared across the Pacific in a dry expanse of Californian land. After months of gruelling process, the two countries united as the forest of umbrellas were opened simultaneously on both continents.
Christo and Jeanne-Claude
For forty years, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, the husband-and-wife team behind countless headline-grabbing art projects all over the world, have been challenging our view of the world - natural or man-made - by giving us wrapped creations of dizzying magnitude and daring beauty, such as 'Surrounded Islands', which consisted of enveloping eleven islands with seven square miles of hot pink material. This is the first fully authorised biography of these celebrated and controversial artists, illustrated with 50 b/w photos and one 16-page colour photo insert.

Art of Engagement
'Art of Engagement' focuses on the key role of California's art and artists in politics and culture since 1945. The book showcases many types of media, including photographs, found objects, drawings and prints, murals, painting, sculpture, ceramics, installations, performance art, and collage.
Christo and Jeanne-Claude
Nearly 40 years after their first wrapping of a public building, this book celebrates the artistic production of Christo and Jeanne-Claude, the artist-couple who came into view in the second half of the 20th century. The catalogue presents the couple's artistic evolution from 1958 to the present.
Space and Learning
"As work on the book proceeded, its format grew almost unobserved in the direction of two preceding books, Lessons for students in architecture 1 (Making space, leaving space) and Space and the architect (Lessons in architecture 2). So Space and learning became part three of the series"--P. 5.
The Figure of the Road
The Figure of the Road examines the metaphor of the road, way, or path in works of representative humanities disciplines (literature, religion, philosophy, visual art, popular culture) to show how writers and artists anticipated the dilemma known to contemporary deconstruction as the «aporia» or «pathless place.» This tradition exposes the solution advocated in Derrida's late thought - the search for the «tout autre» - as a negative theology and suppression of writing's freedom to allegorize these insoluble problems. The Figure of the Road concludes by tracing the bleak, Beckett-like implications of this freedom for curriculum and ethics in a world understood as wholly figural.
