In 1969, husband and wife duo christojeanneclaude changed the face of environmental art forever with their monumental project Wrapped Coast. Using 92,900 square meters of erosion-control fabric, 46.3 km (35 miles) of polypropylene rope, and 111 workers and volunteers, the team covered 2.4 kilometers of coast in Little Bay, south of Sydney, Australia. Christo never offered explanations for their works, but in 2011 he told The Sunday Times, simply; “We make beautiful things, unbelievably useless, totally unnecessary.” The artists did not accept sponsorships of any kind for their work, and Wrapped Coast was instead entirely self-funded through the sales of their other works. The coast remained wrapped for a period of ten weeks from October 28, 1969. Then all materials were removed and recycled and the site was returned to its original condition. #christojeanneclaude
