Jeanne-Claude

[sandik]

Jeanne-Claude, companion and muse to Christo, died this week. The NYT obituary has a great photo of their Reichstag project here.

My local PBS station ran an Independent Lens program recently about the Vogels, a couple who collect minimalist and conceptual art, and in it was an interview with Jeanne-Claude and Christo, about their first meetings with the couple. Jeanne-Claude was wearing a brilliant orange jacket, which matched her amazingly orange hair -- her enthusiasm for Christo and for the work was equally vibrant.

Thanks for posting this, sandik. I saw an item last week - sad news.
