Land Art is something that is pretty much unheard of these days.
This weeks death of great artist Christo bring back to mind a time when amazing art installations such as his wrapped buildings, bridges and landscapes were possible.
I cannot imagine with the environmental and occupational issues off today, any of Christos great artworks would ever have made it past the concept stage.
In 1969 when people were looking to the sky at the man on the moon, Christo was here in Australia’s east coast wrapping the Little Bay coastline in Sydney. Quite astoundingly his death this week coincided with the historical launch of SpaceX.
Farewell Christo, I never get to see any of your artwork in real life, but have Images of your amazing installations imbedded into my mind. I shall think of the moon now – not as a ball of cheese but a Christo wrapped planet.
