Christo is an artist known for his larger than life installations that temporarily disrupt urban landscapes. He funds each project himself – from start to finish – so that his public art is available for free and to all.

His latest installation, the 'London Mastaba' is a floating sculpture that will float on The Serpentine lake until September 23.
