Christo, who made monumental art around the world, has died at 84
I remember flying into Miami, Florida to see Maharaji and from the plane I could see the islands that Christo had surrounded with pink. It was pretty cool.Also, one time at night flying to Miami I saw a rocket launch on the east coast at the Kennedy Space Center. I had a window seat and saw this light getting brighter and brighter. I didn't know what it was until it was up in the air taking off. It was tremendous.
Here's some of the juicy quotes:
Together, known simply as Christo and Jeanne-Claude, they wrapped iconic landmarks in fabric, such as the Pont Neuf in Paris in 1985 and the Reichstag in Berlin in 1995; and mounted thousands of orange gates in Central Park, redolent of Japan's sacred torii gates, in 2005.
