Conceptualism

Christo Vladimirov Javacheff (1935–2020) was a Bulgarian-American artist best known for his monumental environmental installations created in collaboration with Jeanne-Claude. His practice involved wrapping landmarks, coastlines, and public spaces in fabric, transforming familiar structures into the spectacular. Landmark works include Wrapped Reichstag (Berlin, 1995), The Gates (New York, 2005), and The Floating Piers (Lake Iseo, 2016).
