Iconic Artist Christo in Conversation with Amei Wallach

May 22, 2019

Don't miss this exceptionally rare, deep dive into the creative process of one of the most iconic artists of his generation—and a candid conversation about how he realized his vision for The Floating Piers after his wife and creative partner of nearly 50 years, Jeanne-Claude, passed away in 2009.

Christo discusses Walking on Water, the new documentary tracking the completion of the Lake Iseo project and his life’s work with Jeanne-Claude; wrapping the entire Arc de Triomphe in 270,000 square feet of silvery-blue fabric; and much more.

Amei Wallach is an art critic and filmmaker.
