The new Artist Challenge is starting!

June 24th, 2021
Thank you very much to @CatCarter19 who hosted the most recent challenge inspired to the painter Paul Klee and many thanks to all the 365ers who participated and voted. I was surprised and glad that my picture unexpectedly won the challenge. Now it’s my turn to host and after much thought I decided to propose the work of the Bulgarian artist Christo and his wife Jeanne-Claude. Their works were usually gigantic (from The Gates in NYC, to the wrapping of the Pont Neuf in Paris, to the Floating Bridges in Italy and elsewhere) but I suspect that it will be possible to take photos of smaller objects or scenes inspired to them. You can easily find images of their work in internet.
One of the sites is their own

The previous challenge ended on June 16. I propose that this one, being quite difficult, can start on June 17 and end on July 16.
Tag your photo as ac-christo

I can’t wait to see what the wit of the 365 Family as CatCarter19 called our community will come up with!
In any case, have a good summer or winter!

@caterina nice choice! Thanks for setting this up. You might want to edit the link to the tag. T

Wow, so much inspiration here.

Your tag can be corrected by you tagging a photo ac-christo, clicking on the tag, copy the the URL, and paste it over the one you have for Klee ,( hope that makes sense?!)

@monikozi @30pics4jackiesdiamond thank you for making me noticing my mistake. Do you think that it is now correct?
June 24th, 2021
@30pics4jackiesdiamond sorry Jackie, but I’m not sure I have understood your suggestion. Can you please check if my solution works?

@caterina whoop whoop it worked!! ( It's also a great way for you to keep tabs on who's uploaded and acknowledge their entry and then do the shortlist.)

@caterina Excellent now! Thank you for fixing that. Thank you, Jackie @30pics4jackiesdiamond , too!

@caterina somehow you now have a link to the tag Challenge, on your check progress link, I'd suggest delete that. Just keep first link!

@monikozi it's not easy to host a challenge is it?!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond done! Deleted. I don’t know why today I have so many problems after having hosted many challenges. I got older in the meantime?

Interesting challenge. I remember when he wrapped the islands in Miami in pink.

@chejja I’m afraid it will be a lot of work for you to wrap an island before the end of the challenge!😜

Cool, I love their work. Lucky enough to see and experience The Gates in New York.

@joysabin oh! That’s my favorite work by them! I wish I had seen some of their pieces of art but I never did, although when he built the floating bridge on Lake Iseo everybody in Italy was talking about it and many friends of ours went crossing waters on it. So try to find something: with your fantasy and photographic expertise I’m sure you’ll come up with a surprise
