"The monumental but temporary interventions of Christo and Jeanne-Claude, now beloved by millions across the world, began in a very different era, in late-1950s Paris, amid the antics of Yves Klein and the assemblage art of the Nouveaux Realistes. Composed in close co-operation with Christo and Jeanne-Claude, just prior to Jeanne-Claude's death in November 2009, "Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Early Works 1958-64," is the first publication in almost 40 years to deal in depth with the early work of the duo."--Alibris.
