This edition revisits Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s groundbreaking project Wrapped Coast, realized near Sydney in 1968-69. For this monumental work, the artists wrapped 2.4 kilometers of coastline and cliffs in fabric, transforming a natural landscape into a temporary work of art on an unprecedented scale. The 1975 edition captures both the physical presence of the project and the radical spirit of their practice, in which everyday environments were reimagined through monumental interventions. Published as part of the group portfolio Landscapes, the work reflects the artists’ enduring fascination with the relationship between nature, ephemerality, and human imagination.
