Christo and Jeanne-Claude: International Projects

Christo and Jeanne-Claude have created some of the most controversial and compelling public artworks of the twentieth century. On a moderate or monumental scale, they offer an artistic experience that can be transcendent or fantastic depending on one's perspective. This lavishly illustrated book surveys five decades of work by this unpredictable artistic duo, including plans for their latest project, the "Gates" which will be unfurled in New York's Central Park in February 2005.
