Art Jeanne-Claude, Artistic and Life Partner of Christo, Is Dead
Posted by Benjamin Sutton on Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 1:20 PM
The French artist was best known for her works with husband Christo that often involved draping large monuments, buildings and landscapes in fabric—the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, a stretch of coast in Sydney, Pont Neuf in Paris, for instance. A family statement explained that the pair's two current works-in-progress (one in Colorado, the other in the United Arab Emirates), will continue as planned, though they'll clearly have a more solemn emotional impact than the usual giddy wonder the duo's spectacular installations evoke.
