Christo, an environmental installation artist and painter of architectural landscape drawings, became known for "wrapping" famous buildings and geographical landmarks with plastic and woven-fabric sheets. His projects, were usually achieved with the assistance of his wife and dealer Jeanne-Claude.
The Christos oversaw the installation of one of their most attention-getting endeavors, The Gates, Central Park, New York, 1979-2005. Opening February 11 and lasting sixteen days, it was the biggest art project in the history of New York City. Seventy-five hundred frames, sixteen feet high, were placed at intervals along 23 miles of footpaths in the park. Suspended from the frames were orange tinted fabric banners, intended to convey a "splash of sunrise" and what was described as "a visual golden river".
