Christo, the Bulgarian-born artist best known for his temporary installations based on wrapping the exteriors of landmark buildings, bridges and outdoor spaces, died on Sunday at age 84 of natural causes at his home in New York City.

“Christo lived his life to the fullest, not only dreaming up what seemed impossible but realizing it,” the office of the artist, born Christo Yavacheff, said in a statement.

In 2018, he presented “The London Mastaba” - a 20-metre-high sculpture of an ancient Egyptian tomb, made from 7,506 red, white and mauve barrels put on a platform in a lake in London’s Hyde Park.

Emperor's new clothes. More noise and aplomb than style or design. The only thing he was really good at was publicity.

Features artist, shows none of their works. Photo gallery, people!
