Christo, R. I. P.

Christo, a Bulgarian artist who was famous for wrapping buildings and landmarks in fabric or plastic, has died. I managed to see two of the works he made with his wife Jeanne-Claude in person:  the London Mastaba, created on the Serpentine in Hyde Park a couple of years ago ...


... as well as The Gates in New York City back in 2005

Piglet at The Gates

I will miss the grand scale of their visions. May they rest in peace.
