Back in print in an expanded edition, this richly illustrated survey of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s entire career is timed to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of their acclaimed
Gates
project
Christo (1935–2020) and Jeanne‑Claude’s (1935–2009) landscape-scaled, outdoor projects were astounding temporary works of art in public settings that captured headlines across the globe. For sixteen days in February of 2005, their most celebrated installation,
The Gates
—7,500 saffron‑colored fabric panels suspended from the tops of vinyl gates—stood along 23 miles of walkways in New York City’s Central Park.
This book celebrates the twentieth anniversary of

Surrounded Islands
in Miami,
The Umbrellas
in Japan and California,
Wrapped Reichstag
in Berlin, and many more. This expanded edition also includes an epilogue that considers the artists’ works after
—including
Floating Piers
in Italy and
L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped
in Paris—and a 2017 interview Fineberg conducted with Christo, one of the artist’s last.
This new edition is published on the occasion of two documentation exhibitions, curated by the artists in their lifetimes and presented to the public as the artists wanted them to be seen.
