Christo and Jeanne-Claude are mysterious about their work.
NO. Christo and Jeanne-Claude constantly lecture and answer questions from the audience, in museums, colleges, universities, and schools all over the world. It is probable that no other artist lectures as much as they do.
General information
It is totally idiotic to call Christo and Jeanne-Claude the "wrapping artists." So many works were not about wrapping: The Iron Curtain, 1961–62; Valley Curtain, 1970–72; Running Fence, 1972–76; Surrounded Islands, 1980–83; The Umbrellas, 1984–91, etc.
Running Fence, in Sonoma, was made of parachute material.
The nylon fabric of the Running Fence could never be used for parachutes—God forbid that anyone would ever jump with that type of fabric.
Christo wrapped some islands in Florida, off the coast of Miami in Key Biscayne, wih pink plastic.
Christo and Jeanne-Claude never wrapped any islands. They surrounded the islands. Most journalists do not understand the difference between "wrapping" and "surrounding," even though they should know that the United Kingdom is surrounded by water; it is not wrapped in water.
