The partnership of mononymous artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude produced some of the most recognizable pieces in contemporary art.  One might say the pair’s prime medium was ambiguity, with all final pieces being temporary installations that left behind only memories, photographs and a multitude of preparatory sketches and collages.  “I think it takes much greater courage to create things to be gone than to create things that will remain,” said Christo of his process.  The couple’s environmental installations were decidedly non-conceptual, the only concept being the immediate aesthetic impact and temporary nature of their work.
