I haven't encountered a Christo. I've never been a fan, but this interview made me a bit more sympathetic. Still not a fan. What was your impression of The Gates? I don't believe this either.Christo and Jeanne-Claude pay the entire cost of the artworks themselves. They earn all of the money through the sale of Christo's preparatory studies and early works from the 50's and 60's. They do not accept grants or sponsorships of any kind. They do not accept donated labor (volunteer help). They do not accept money for things like posters, postcards, books, films, T-shirts and mugs or any other products at all. None.
