The American Prospect has a great appreciation of Jeanne-Claude.
If Jeanne-Claude’s portion of their work was in large part managing and bringing about the wrapping of the Pont Neuf in gold fabric despite then-Paris Mayor Jacques Chirac’s grave hesitations, so much the better – the process is the work. Jeanne-Claude’s battle for recognition has helped shed light on the art world’s discomfort with recognizing both women and the process behind creating large-scale work. That process was part of her work, too.
