Christo and Jeanne-Claude created several large-scale temporary art installations including Running Fence, a 5.5 meter high fence 39.4 km long installed in California in 1976. In 2021 they wrapped the Arc de Triomphe in Paris in silvery blue fabric. From 2018 they placed a floating mastaba sculpture in London's Hyde Park. Their 2005 work for New York's Central Park involved wrapping 7,503 gates in fabric along walkways. In 1983 they surrounded 11 islands in Biscayne Bay, Florida with pink fabric extending 61 meters into the water.

Running Fence - 5.5 meters high, 39.4 kilometres
long, extending east-west near Freeway 101, north of
San Francisco, on the private properties of 59
ranchers, following the rolling hills and dropping down
to the Pacific Ocean at Bodega Bay. The Running
Fence was completed on September 10, 1976.

16. L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped, a temporary artwork for
Paris, was on view for 16 days from Saturday,
September 18 to Sunday, October 3, 2021. The
project was realised in partnership with the Centre des
Monuments Nationaux and in coordination with the
City of Paris. It also received the support of the Centre
Pompidou. The Arc de Triomphe was wrapped in
25,000 square meters of recyclable polypropylene
fabric in silvery blue, and with 3,000 meters of red
rope.

31. From June 18 to September 23, 2018, Christo and
Jeanne- Claude's temporary sculpture, The London
Mastaba, floated atop Hyde Park's Serpentine Lake in
the center of London, United Kingdom. The temporary
sculpture, Christo's first major public outdoor work in
the UK, coincided with an exhibition at the Serpentine
Galleries detailing Christo and Jeanne-Claude's 60-
year history of working with oil barrels.

42. The installation in Central Park was completed with the
blooming of the 7,503 fabric panels on February 12,
2005. The 7,503 gates were 4.87 meters tall and varied
in width from 1.68 to 5.48 meters according to the 25
different widths of walkways, on 37 kilometres of
walkways in Central Park.

43. Free hanging saffron coloured fabric panels, suspended
from the horizontal top part of the gates, came down to
approximately 2.1 meters above the ground. The gates
were spaced at 3.65 meter intervals, except where low
branches extended above the walkways. The gates and
the fabric panels could be seen from far away through
the leafless branches of the trees. The work of art
remained for 16 days, then the gates were removed and
the materials recycled.

59. On May 7, 1983, the installation of Surrounded Islands
was completed in Biscayne Bay. Eleven of the islands
were surrounded with 603,870 square meters of floating
pink woven polypropylene fabric covering the surface of
the water and extending out 61 meters from each island
into the bay. The fabric was sewn into 79 patterns to
follow the contours of the eleven islands.
