Valley Curtain by Christo and Jeane Claude. 1970-1972. What they do is refered to as "wrapping". Their website states,
Why wrapping?
Christo and Jeanne-Claude have done very few wrappings in comparison to their whole portfolio of artworks. Please notice how few of the works are wrappings, when you visit the index of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's photo collection.
It is easier for some to grasp the wrapping concept and refer to their artworks entirely as "wrapping", but the work is more about altering an environment than wrapping -- which is only one way to to that.

great! ... but who did these beach cairns???
The wrapping is really cool... It almost mimics a mountain range, I had to do a double take to actually figure out it was. Really cool piece.
I did the beach Cairns.
