They made people see again. \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen they first met, Christo was a poor refugee, and Jeanne-Claude knew nothing about art, but they were both rule-breakers and kindred spirits. Christo's innovative creations--everyday objects wrapped to make people reconsider them--sparked Jeanne-Claude's imagination. Thus began their lifelong partnership as husband and wife, and as artistic collaborators whose once-in-a-lifetime public installations captivated viewers and asked: What is art? Who does it belong to? And how can it help us reimagine the world around us? Accompanied by Elizabeth Haidle's wonderfully stylish illustrations, award-winning author G. Neri takes readers through the remarkable career of a daring duo and a fascinating discussion about the nature of art itself. Realized as an imagined conversation between Christo and Jeanne-Claude, this compelling book features back matter about the couple, an author's note, a bibliography, and a collection of fun facts about the artists and their work.","brand":"Candlewick Press (MA)","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45082871660695,"sku":"9781536216615","price":1266.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781536216615.webp?v=1767635224","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/christo-and-jeanne-claude-wrap-the-world-the-story-of-two-groundbreaking-environmental-artists-9781536216615","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
