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.
