Christo and Jeanne-Claude, the artists responsible for such memorable wrapped pieces as “Surrounded Islands” (bright pink fabric floating around 11 islands in Biscayne Bay in Florida), and “Running Fence” (2.3 million square feet of fabric stretching down to the ocean in Sonoma and Marin counties in California), have been planning a major piece in New York City since they arrived in 1964. In one interview, Christo says, “One of the lowest objections was that I am a communist spy and the Fence will be used as intercontinental missile targets.”
