Note: Christo et Jeanne-Claude is the artist name of Christo Vladimiroff Javacheff (1935-2020) and Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon (1935-2009), famous for their packaged objects and monuments. Christo and Jeanne-Claude correct the most common errors about their work and their lives. Little is known about their careers, their lives and their work. Or so little... Almost everything they say is false. Here, they tell us everything, correcting, repeating and explaining. How many islands were surrounded at Key Biscayne? Why umbrellas in Ibaraki and California? Their sponsors? Why do Christo and Jeanne-Claude sign together? What do they do with their money? The book is accompanied by an original print signed by the artists.
