Surrounded Islands, Biscayne Bay, Greater Miami, Florida, 1980-83 was a 1983 environmental artwork that saw Christo and Jeanne-Claude surround an island archipelago in Miami with pink fabric.
In 2009, the artists chose several images of the project and arranged them to create this edition that was published as part of the group project Forty Are Better Than One, as a special edition of Schellmann Art's catalogue raisonné, celebrating the gallery's 40th anniversary.
