From Jeff Koons's four-storey-high flower puppy to Christo and Jeanne-Claude's wrapped coastline, these projects introduced audiences to a different kind of art.

It took husband-and-wife team Christo and Jeanne-Claude four weeks to shroud Sydney's Little Bay in enormous lengths of light-weight synthetic fabric, with the help of over 100 workers.

"We turned to John and said, 'John you are Australian, Australia has the biggest coastline in the world, probably we can find … a small section to wrap up temporarily, like a work of art," Christo tells RN's The Art Show. "Much of the high cliffs of Little Bay was installed by rock climbers. I can remember a number of architectural students who came to work on the project, too," recalls Christo.
