They were born on the same day.  Christo in Bulgaria, Jeanne-Claude in Morocco, on June 13, 1935.  They met in Paris in 1958, and moved to New York in 1964.  They have a son, Cyril Christo.  Together, the artists proposed many temporary art installations.  The Gates was their 19th to see completion.

Jeanne-Claude departed for the pearly gates on November 18, 2009.

    It’s so beautiful that they were able to make not just a life together but a fantastic creative partnership too.

    I agree. I was watching an interview, and it was so cute to see how they interact with each other. Jeanne-Claude told reporters to Let The Eat Gates, and they both had a giggle. A creative partnership that realized many terrific completions, for the world to enjoy. Priceless.

    I saw a documentary that just had me transfixed… it’s a poignant memory. Wonderful that people you’ve never met can touch you like that.
