“The work of art is a scream of freedom.” – Christo Bulgarian-born artist Christo, best known for wrapping buildings and famous landmarks in fabric or plastic, and also swathing areas of coast and entire islands in fabric, has died aged 84. Once a penniless painter on the boulevards of Paris, Christo created monumental environmental works of art around the world. Pictured is MKV Design's founder Maria Vafiadis walking on Christo's monumental installation The Floating Piers in June 2016. The Floating Piers was a temporary work of art by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, consisting of 70,000 square metres of yellow fabric, carried by a modular floating dock system of 226,000 high-density polyethylene cubes installed in 2016 at Lake Iseo near Brescia, Italy. The artist’s next project, L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped, is slated to appear in September in Paris as planned. #RIPChristo
