# Christo and Jeanne-Claude: In/Out Studio - Hardcover

by **Christo &. Jeanne Claude** (Artist), **Matthias Koddenberg** (Editor)

Christo (born 1935) and Jeanne-Claude (1935-2009) have created some of the most visually breathtaking works of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Their projects have traversed and transcended the boundaries of painting, sculpture and architecture. This lavishly designed, epic volume brings together a wealth of archival material and photographic documentation to offer an intimate behind-the-scenes view of the monumental installations with which the couple have dazzled the public. Photographs portraying the artists at work are supplemented by pictures of all their major projects--_Wrapped Coast_ (1968-69), _Valley Curtain_ (1970-72), _Running Fence_ (1972-76), _Surrounded Islands_ (1980-83), _The Pont Neuf Wrapped_ (1975-85), _The Umbrellas_ (1984-91), _Wrapped Reichstag_ (1971-95) and _The Gates_ (1979-2005)--as well as reproductions of drawings, collages and objects. Matthias Koddenberg, art historian and close friend of the artists, spent many years compiling the more than 250 mostly unpublished photographs and illustrations assembled here. Many of them show works that were previously unknown or thought lost, including early drawings and paintings dating back to when Christo was still studying art in Bulgaria. Others document temporary sculptures--_Wrapped Woman_ (1962, 1963 and 1968), _Wrapped Volkswagen_ (1963) and _Wrapped Tree_ (1966 and 1969)--or works that were intentionally destroyed and only survive as photographs. The publication was put together in close collaboration with Christo and includes documentation by renowned photographers such as Ugo Mulas, Enzo Sellerio, Harry Shunk and J nos Kender, Charles Wilp and Wolfgang Volz, who has documented all of the artists' projects since 1971, together with photos by associates and friends as well as pictures from the artists' private archives.
