"For their sheer scale and breathtaking audacity, the works of Christo and Jeanne-Claude have made them amongst the most celebrated and controversial artists in the world. Valley Curtain stretched 1,250 feet across a valley in Rifle, Colorado. Wrapped Coast covered a mile and a half of Australian coastline with a million square feet of fabric. The Umbrellas deployed 3,100 umbrellas in Japan and California, each nearly twenty feet tall.
Surrounded Islands encircled eleven islands in Biscayne Bay, Florida, with six and a half million square feet of bright pink fabric. Wrapped Reichstag enveloped the entire German parliament in shimmering silver fabric.".
"Chernow recounts their rise from relative obscurity to international renown, revealing both the sources of their art and the quite literal heights to which it has aspired. An epilogue by Wolfgang Volz, a longtime close collaborator of the artists, as well as their exclusive photographer, provides a fascinating insider's view at what it is like to work, and dream, with them. Christo and Jeanne-Claude is an indelible portrait of the artists, their work, and of an extraordinary couple."--BOOK JACKET.
