"Christo's temporary works of art sweep through the landscape like a storm and blow over just as quickly, leaving no trace on the scene they so imaginatively transformed. They survive only in memory, in photographs, in books, in films, and--perhaps most evocatively--in the artist's own prints. Valley Curtain, Running Fence, Surrounded Islands, and many others have been vividly captured in his distinctive hand, providing lasting documents of ephemeral experiences. christo also uses his prints to try out new ideas: many of the prints in this catalogue raisonné embody projects never intended for translation into three dimensions."--Publisher's description.
