Christo and Jean-Claude
Christo and Jean-Claude spoke here in Schwaebisch Hall. They are a very famous artist couple. They have created projects such as wrapping the Reichstag in Berlin, and thousands of Umbrellas that were placed along the highway in southern California.
The wrapped Berlin Reichstag. This project was rejected three times by the German government. It was almost 10 years after the 1st proposal that they received permission.
A Wrapped Bridge in Paris.
Over the River Project, Christo and Jean-Claude are currently working on suspending slightly transparent pieces of fabric over the Arkansas River in Colorado.
Their projects sometimes cost upwards of 20 million dollars. Christo creates sketches and plans for the pieces that he sells to raise money.
It was a very nice event, they gave us free food and wine afterwards. The Kunsthalle Wurth put on the event. It is a very nice museum for such a small town.
