Happy Birthday, Christo! May your day be wrapped in joy—though perhaps not quite as dramatically as the Reichstag or Pont Neuf. Your visionary projects like "Running Fence" and "The Gates" have taught us all that art can indeed cover anything—even entire landscapes—and still leave everyone smiling.Today we also celebrate Jeanne-Claude, your partner in creativity and birthday twin. Together you've shown us how to blend environmental awareness with playful imagination, turning ordinary spaces into extraordinary experiences. Here's hoping this year brings you more grand ideas (and plenty of fabric)—because let's face it: nobody wraps a gift quite like you two!
