I remember working in a ship chandlery in Newport RI in 1974, when who should walk in but Christo and Jeanne-Claude, asking about buying about 12 anchors, thousands of feet of rope, and hundreds more of chain. Lucky for me they needed someone with a motorboat to help them rig the fabric when they wrapped Mackerel Cove as part of the Monumenta exhibit. All I can say is WOW! I'll never forget what it was like to work with them. This is sad news.

I remember the artwork as a kid (esp the yellow umbrellas) and always thought it was so cool. With heartfelt condolences to the family. Sad to hear this.
