Floating piers.. oil-barrel pyramids.. running fences of white sheets rolling over the California landscape.. all the work of Christo Vladimirov Javacheff. Christo and his late wife Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon wrapped iconic landmarks in fabric like the Pont Neuf in Paris in 1985 and the Reichstag in Berlin in 1995. He was 84.
