Fabulously colourful archive/vintage poster showing Christo's Surrounded Islands in Biscayne Bay, Greater Miami, Florida. This poster was published by Achenbach Art Editions, Düsseldorf, Germany in 1983. We are told only 1500 of these posters were produced. 

The Islands project took place between 1980 and 1983. Using 6.5 million square feet of floating pink fabric, Christo and Jeanne-Claude encircled eleven islands in Miami's Biscayne Bay, extending the perimeter of each island by 200 feet. The project was an elaborate undertaking involving legions of contractors, engineers, attorneys, and seamstresses - classic Christo and Jeanne-Claude.
