Christian Boltanski (1944) is a French photographer, sculptor, self-proclaimed painter, and installation artist.
Christian Boltanski was born in Paris to a Jewish father of Ukrainian heritage, and a Corsican mother. He spent the early years of his life in hiding from the Nazis.
He is married to the artist Annette Messager, with whom he sometimes collaborates.
His artistic work is haunted by the problems of memory and loss; he often seeks to memorialize the anonymous and those who have disappeared.
