The works of Christo and Jeanne-Claude are Monuments of transience . They are gigantic in size always temporary , created to exist only for a limited time and to leave unique, unrepeatable impressions. "From the smallest of the works created in Paris in the early 1960s Packages to the delicate course of hundreds of trees covered with transparent fabric veils... in the works of Christo and Jeanne-Claude there is nothing abstract, nothing imagined; it is all there, physical and tangible ." (Lorenza Giovanelli)
