When I was lucky enough to be part of the team that was awarded a Bloomberg grant a few years ago for Breathing Lights, I was asked what artist I wanted to meet with about the project. I said Christo. Instead I got to meet with Maya Lin (not a bad second choice). I own all of their films and most of their books, and have studied them endlessly. Along with their immense impact on environmental art, I have also thought they they have never been properly recognized as the grandparents of social practice art. Their importance in my life cannot be underestimated. I so hope that their L&#8217;Arc de Triomphe project, which after initially being proposed 50 (!) years ago just received approval this year, will still move forward.<br \/>\nYou were two of the good ones. Thank you, and goodbye. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<li><\/li>\n<p>https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=4550622697108&#038;set=a.3257379126827&#038;type=3&#038;theater<\/p>\n<li><\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artnet obit Christo, Jeanne Claude Home page Christo&#8230; he lost his partner a few years ago..
