The work of art is a scream of freedom  (Christo Quotes) The freedom of every artist is essential  (Christo Quotes) New York is our home  (Christo Quotes) We wish to work in total freedom  (Christo Quotes) To keep that absolute freedom we cannot be obliged to anyone  (Christo Quotes) Our work is a scream of freedom  (Christo Quotes) Germany is an economic giant but a political midget, and with the end of the Cold War she has started to muscle her presence throughout Europe and the world  (Christo Quotes) Some of the projects we’ve proposed over the years have been refused. But we never do other people’s ideas; our ideas come out of our two hearts and our two heads.  (Christo Quotes) Germany is an economic giant but a political midget, and with the end of the Cold War she has started to muscle her presence throughout Europe and the world.  (Christo Quotes) The decision to use only the name Christo was made deliberately when we were young because it is difficult for one artist to get established and we wanted to put all the chances on our side.  (Christo Quotes) In 1964, when we first arrived in New York City, I remember vividly seeing the skyline of Manhattan, and our first proposal of 1964 was to wrap two lower Manhattan buildings. We never got permission.  (Christo Quotes) Often the art in New York is related to the buildings, to grandiose things  (Christo Quotes) And for me, the real world involves everything: risk, danger, beauty, energy, all we meet with in the real world.  (Christo Quotes) We have created indoor installations inside museums, like the Wrapped Floor at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago in 1968, and not monumental at all by any standards.  (Christo Quotes) The other work we started in 1992, it is called Over the River, project for the Arkansas River in the state of Colorado, we haven’t got the permit yet. and, we are working at both of those, trying to get the permit. Therefore, we do not know which one will be realized next  (Christo Quotes) Now, to describe the process of the Wrapped Reichstag, which went from 1971 to 95, there is an entire book about that, because each one of our projects has its own book. The book is not an art book, meaning it’s not written by an art historian  (Christo Quotes) We tell them that we believe it will be beautiful because that is our specialty, we only create joy and beauty. We have never done a sad work. Through the drawings, we hope a majority will be able to visualize it  (Christo Quotes) We have created indoor installations inside museums, like the Wrapped Floor at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago in 1968, and not monumental at all by any standards  (Christo Quotes) The only place where people in Manhattan walk for leisure is in the park  (Christo Quotes) The decision to use only the name Christo was made deliberately when we were young because it is difficult for one artist to get established and we wanted to put all the chances on our side  (Christo Quotes) But now, today, we don’t know if Over the River is truly the next project to be realized, because something very nice happened to our life in November in New York  (Christo Quotes) And the most unusual and surrealistic place in New York City is Central Park  (Christo Quotes) It appears to be monumental only because it’s art  (Christo Quotes) And for me, the real world involves everything: risk, danger, beauty, energy, all we meet with in the real world  (Christo Quotes) But the drawings are not created only to be sold  (Christo Quotes) Because we do not sell photographs, we have no royalties on books, posters, postcards  (Christo Quotes) If some of our works are symphonies, then wrapped walkways was chamber music  (Christo Quotes) It is not only one person’s work, it’s really a partnership and collaboration during all these years  (Christo Quotes) And for every project, because it takes years, you can see the early drawings and collages as just a simple, vague idea, and through the years and through the negotiations of getting the permit, you see that every detail is now clarified  (Christo Quotes) You see, we are not machines and we do not have lots of ideas in a drawer  (Christo Quotes)
