About this Quote

This quote by Christo exposes the couple's tactical choice to utilize just one name for their artistic ventures. By utilizing only the name Christo, they were wishing to increase their chances of success in the art world. This choice was made when they were young, most likely in their twenties, and was a calculated threat. They understood that it would be hard for one artist to get established, so they wanted to maximize their opportunities of success. This quote shows the couple's ambition and determination to make it in the art world. It likewise reveals their desire to take threats and their self-confidence in their own abilities. Christo and Jeanne-Claude's choice to utilize only one name was a strong relocation that paid off, as they went on to end up being a few of the most popular artists of the 20th century.
