Dans la catégorie "CACHER pour mieux REVELER", le travail de Christo et Jeanne-Claude Travail récent sur designboom : In his first major public work since the death of his partner jeanne-claude in 2009, christo's 'big air package' is already reported to be both the largest ever inflated frameless envelope and the most expansive indoor sculpture ever created. while the artist typically works at the monumental scale of the city or building, the 90 meter high inflatable boasts a volume of 177,000 cubic meters and uses 20,350 square meters of semitransparent polyester fabric as well as 4,500 meters of rope. despite lacking a skeleton, the 5 ton form fills the interior of a former gas tank, amplifying the ethereal quality of the space with diffused light. christo describes the experience as 'virtually swimming in light' as a result of the vast expanses of fabric. Très connu en raison de la force monumentale de son impact visuel, l'art de Christo repose sur des ambiguïtés et des tensions internes, qui en nourrissent la vitalité depuis plus de quatre décennies. Mais doit-on écrire simplement Christo ou Christo et Jeanne-Claude ? (...) C'est l'association de leurs deux prénoms pour faire un seul nom d'artiste que revendiquent depuis 1994 Christo Vladimirov Javacheff, né à Gabrovo en Bulgarie le 13 juin 1935, et Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon, son épouse, née le même jour à Casablanca (Maroc) (...). Signe d'une collaboration exemplaire qui refuse la mise en valeur exclusive d'un créateur unique et marque de fabrique d'un parcours humain et esthétique d'une indéniable continuité, l'association originale de ces deux prénoms renvoie à une œuvre singulière qui transgresse les limites traditionnelles des différents arts et mêle à la sculpture, au dessin et à la photographie un intérêt marqué pour des domaines aussi divers que la communication, la politique ou l'écologie.

Willem de Kooning, (born April 24, 1904, Rotterdam, Netherlands—died March 19, 1997, East Hampton, New York, U.S.), Dutch-born American painter who was one of the leading exponents of Abstract Expressionism, particularly the form known as Action painting. During the 1930s and ’40s de Kooning worked simultaneously in figurative and abstract modes, but by about 1945 these two tendencies seemed to fuse. The series Woman I–VI caused a sensation with its violent imagery and impulsive, energetic technique. His later work showed an increasing preoccupation with landscape. De Kooning’s parents, Leendert de Kooning and Cornelia Nobel, were divorced when he was about
