It appears to be monumental only because it's art.
From Christo
All our projects are like fabulous expeditions. The story of each project is unique. Our projects have no precedent.
We are probably the only artists in the world who have a 2,000-page book on a work of art that doesn't exist. But in this way, these projects reveal their identity through this whole process. When I'm starting, I only have the slightest idea of how the work of art will exist.
Therefore we have to go over the fact that all human beings are afraid by what is new. It is our work to convince them that they will enjoy it, and even if they don't, to allow us just for 14 days to create that work of art.
Every artist in the world likes his or her work to make people think.
Because we do not sell photographs, we have no royalties on books, posters, postcards.
