Christo, an artist known for massive, ephemeral public arts projects, died Sunday at his home in New York at the age of 84

Christo, known for massive, ephemeral public arts projects died Sunday at his home in New York. He was 84.Along with late wife Jeanne-Claude, the artists' careers were defined by their ambitious art projects that quickly disappeared soon after they were erected. In 2001, he installed more than 7,500 vinyl gates in New York's Central Park and and wrapped the Reichstag in Berlin in fabric with an aluminum sheen in 1995.

"Christo lived his life to the fullest, not only dreaming up what seemed impossible but realizing it," his office said in a statement. "Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s artwork brought people together in shared experiences across the globe, and their work lives on in our hearts and memories." Born in Bulgaria in 1935, Christo Vladimirov Javacheff studied at the Fine Arts Academy in Sofia before moving to Prague in 1957, then Vienna, then Geneva. It was in Paris in 1958 where he met Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon, who would become his partner in life and art.
