In 1964, he moved to his current residence in SoHo, New York City, and began creating storefronts similar to stage sets. The monumental and conceptual works for which he is known worldwide, such as the 24½ mile, 18-foot high Running Fence in Northern California, and the orange Valley Curtain in Colorado were done soon after. To Christo, the wrapped buildings, floors, and coastlines do not in themselves constitute the finished works. Conceptual art focuses on the idea, motivation and effects of the piece, rather than on the tangible object of art.
There are at least four stages to Christo’s work: the fantasy stage which incorporates the formation of the idea; the anticipation and the preparation; the actual execution stage; and the memory stage which is the final and lasting product. Christo takes art out of museum settings and makes it accessible to everyone, seeking to integrate artistic, social, political and environmental concerns. It is Christo’s objective to involve the entire community in the creation of his pieces. He regards every action whether it be an inflammatory article or an opinion expressed on the street, as an inextricable part of the final work. Most importantly, he wants to raise the public’s consciousness and understanding of art.
