The exhibition “Childhood Years” at the Center for Contemporary Art “Christo and Jeanne-Claude” in Gabrovo will open the autumn season of the Bulgarian Cultural Institute in Paris on September 19 at 6 p.m. local time.
The exhibition marks the 90th anniversary of the birth of Hristo Yavashev – Christo, one of the most significant world artists of Bulgarian origin, and presents for the first time in the French capital a collective exhibition of resident artists from the art center established in Gabrovo in honor of Christo and his wife Jeanne-Claude. This was announced to BTA by the director of the cultural institute in Paris, Desislava Bineva.

The exhibition explores childhood as the first stage of imagination and creative potential of the artist in Bulgaria. It shows his childhood, family, schools, factories, favorite games and his first steps in art. It was these memories and experiences that later inspired the iconic elements from which Christo and Jeanne Claude's projects were created - fabrics, ropes, barrels, Bineva pointed out.
