NO - a conception on a paper is not Christo and Jeanne-Claude's idea of art. They want to build their projects - they could save a lot of money by not building them, by just keeping them on paper - as conceptual artists do. Christo and Jeanne-Claude want to SEE their project realized because they believe it will be a work of art of joy and beauty. The only way to see it is to build it.
Environmental Artists: YES - because they created many works in cities - in urban environments - and also in rural environments but NEVER in deserted places, and always sites already prepared and used by people, managed by human beings for human beings. Therefore they are not "Land Art" either.
We believe that labels are important, but mostly for bottles of wine.
