In later life Christo insisted that the art world acknowledge the part his muse and business partner, Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon (1935–2009), played in the work of wrapping of things from objects to valleys and buildings so that they were largely known as Christo and Jeanne-Claude. I always admired him and saw a show of his drawings once that blew me away. The bigger work (eg wrapping of the Reichstag, Running Fence) I only ever witnessed through photos but admired them immensely.
