Surrounded Islands 1983 by Christo and Jeanne-Claude. In
1983, eleven of the islands situated in Biscayne Bay, Greater Miami, were
surrounded with 6.5 million square feet of floating pink woven polypropylene
fabric covering the surface of the water and extending out from each island
into the bay. The public were very happy
with the installation. This is a work that you must be present to enjoy it to
the fullest. The installation was there for two weeks.
