Christo

Remembering the great architects and designers we lost in 2020

Bulgarian artist Christo was best known for wrapping buildings, including the Pont Neuf in Paris and Berlin’s Reichstag, in fabric. He began creating the large-scale installations in the 1960s together with his late wife Jeanne-Claude.

She passed away in 2009 but Christo continued to work on the installations including his first major UK sculpture,  opens in a new windowthe London Mastaba on the Serpentine Lake.
