Christo and Jeanne-Claude - Overview of the Work

A film montage by Antonio Ferrera realized on the occasion of the Independent Curators International's Leo Award ceremony in 2010. The Leo Award named after the late, renowned art dealer Leo Castelli, was created to honor life-time achievements in advancing the field of contemporary art. Christo and Jeanne-Claude (in memoriam) were honored in recognition of the example they provided younger generations in their independent attitude to developing ambitious public projects, as well as their inspiring approach to collaborative practice. Leo Castelli was one of the first persons to exhibit Christo's work in the USA in 1964, with his first solo exhibition in his gallery occurring in 1966.
