'''Christo''' (born as '''Christo Vladimirov Javacheff''' on June 13, 1935) and Jeanne-Claude (born '''Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon''' on June 13, 1935) are married installation artists who are best known for wrapping large-scale objects in fabric (for example the [[Reichstag]] in [[Berlin]]).
 
The artists have been active for a very long time: Their first collaboration ("Dockside Packages") dates back to 1961, and their most recent project ("The Gates") was completed in 2005.
