Christo and Jeanne-Claude talking about their ''Over the River'' project
And I'm Faith Lapidus with EXPLORATIONS in VOA Special English. Today we learn about the artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude. This husband and wife team has been making large temporary outdoor art projects in city and rural environments for over forty years.
The artists create these imaginative and striking works for their beauty and magic and to make people see the artwork's environment in new ways. They work with city, state and federal officials for years to get permission to make their projects. And, they hire a team of permanent workers as well as hundreds of temporary workers to make their artistic visions a reality.
