As one of the contemporary art world’s most celebrated artistic power couples, Christo and Jeanne-Claude are particularly well-known for their environmental installation art, such as the highly acclaimed "The Gates" in New York City's Central Park in 2005. Although their artwork is visually striking and often controversial due to its size and scale, the artists have repeatedly denied that their projects contain any deeper meaning. The purpose of their art, they contend, is simply to make the world a "more beautiful place" or to offer a new way of looking at an old landscape. Upcoming projects involve the “wrapping” of Colorado’s Arkansas River and a large-scale piece entitled The Mastaba for the United Arab Emigrates. The duo has been the subject of numerous articles and books, including Christo & Jeanne-Claude (2006).
