Christo, the artist who wraps the world, reminisces in Tokyo

"Christo -- the artist behind The Gates in Central Park, New York City and The Umbrellas in Ibaraki and California -- made his way back to Japan in February for the opening of a new exhibition Life=Works=Projects at 21_21 Design Sight. Issey Miyake, who is a longtime friend and also runs the museum, personally commissioned the exhibit when he heard the news that Christo's wife and collaborator Jeanne Claude passed away last November."
