Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Surrounded Islands, 1980-1983
Christo and Jeanne-Claude created this environmental artwork by surrounding 11 small islands with 6.5 million square feet of pink fabric. The work existed for only two weeks.
So part of me always wants to be like, oh, Christo is a tool, but fuck, sometimes the scale, simplicity, and ephemerality of his work makes me want to cry.
