Christo Yavasheff (born June 13, 1935) is an artist popularly known as Christo. He is famous for wrappings of objects and buildings, as well as environmental art. This is called installation art. He was born in Gabrovo, Bulgaria. He works with his wife and partner, Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon (also born on June 13, 1935). Some of their famous works include the wrapping of the Pont Neuf in Paris with white cloth and Running Fence, a display of fabric strung across many kilometres in California.


Annie Leibowitz made a witty portrait of Christo completely wrapped and bundled, much like his own artwork.


On January 3, 2005, work began on the installation of the couple's most protracted project, The Gates, in Central Park in New York City. It is scheduled to run from February 12 through February 27. They have also referred to it as "The Gates, Central Park, New York, 1979-2005" in reference to the time that passed from their initial proposal until they were able to go ahead with it.
