Famous conceptual artists Bulgaria-born Christo and his wife Jeanne-Claude will wrap the ranch of the US President Bush in Crawford.
The avant-guard couple are expected to start working on their new project in September.
The invitation was sent by the US First Lady Laura Bush, who was deeply impressed by the present work of the couple, displayed in the New York's Central Park - 7,500 gates hung with panels of saffron-coloured orange fabric.
Christo, who is Bulgarian, and Jeanne-Claude, who is French, are known for their large-scale public art pieces. They surrounded 11 islands in Miami with pink woven fabric in 1982, wrapped silver fabric around the German Reichstag in 1995 and opened 3,100 umbrellas in Japan and California in 1991.
