Christo (present) and Jeanne-Claude (1935-2009)

Christo, Bulgarian, and Jeanne-Claude, French, have created many works of environmental installation art together since 1994. Prior to that date, works were only credited to Christo. Since Jean-Claude passed away in 2009, Christo continues to create environmental installation art. They are well known for covering up well-known environmental and public areas for specific amounts of time so that people may appreciate that area when it is uncovered. They also place objects in areas for specific amounts of time. Below is their work called Surrounded Islands, Miami, FL (1980-1983). In this work, they wrapped 11 island in pink flamingo fabric.
