Christo and Jeanne-Claude

The lives and work of Christo and Jean-Claude are exactly what you want out of art stars -- they're absolutely extraordinary. I love that the couple shared the same birthday, in a way it exemplifies a kind of absurdity that extend throughout their life and work. I wouldn't be surprised if they were actually born at the same instant on that day. Click the link for a trailer to the Criterion collection of seven wonderful documentaries about their work.
