Hardly any other artist proves in a more impressive way how great the field of modern art is than the Bulgarian-born Christophe Vladimirov Jawaschew, better known as "Christo, the packaging artist". Undoubtedly, the internationally acclaimed art star found expression that was not only spectacular and extraordinary, but literally "unmissable." With eye-catching and gigantic projects like the "Wrapped Coast" in Australia, the "Running Fence" In California, the "fringed islands" off Florida, the blue and yellow "Umbrellas" in Japan, and the "Wrapped Reichstag" in Berlin, he amazed global art critics and fascinated an international audience of millions. As elaborate as Christo's work of art is, his formulated credo is conceivably tight when he simply says: "Wrapping is promise."
