<p>The works of <strong>Christo and Jeanne-Claude </strong>are monuments of transience. Gigantic in scale, they are <strong>always temporary</strong>, created to exist only for a limited time and to leave unique, unrepeatable impressions. "From the smallest of the <em>Packages</em> made in Paris in the early 1960s, to the delicate pattern of hundreds of branches embraced by a translucent fabric veil... in Christo and Jeanne-Claude's works there is nothing abstract, nothing imagined; it is all there--corporeal and tangible." (Lorenza Giovanelli)<br><br> Part biography, part critical analysis, part catalogue, this updated edition <strong>brings back TASCHEN's best-selling Collector's Edition</strong>. It spans Christo and Jeanne-Claude's entire work, <strong> from early drawings and family photos to plans for future projects. </strong>Hundreds of photographs and original works <strong>trace the couple's projects from the past 10 years</strong>, including <em>The Floating Piers </em>and <em>The</em> <em>London Mastaba</em>, as well as <strong>works in progress such as <em>The Mastaba, Project for the United Arab Emirates</em> and </strong><em><strong>L'Arc de Triomphe Wrapped, Paris</strong>.</em><br><br> Together with the comprehensive <strong>photographic documentation by Wolfgang Volz </strong>this book is <strong>a celebration of the work of two artists whose imagination has affected the landscape of every continent.</strong></p>
