Harvard Law School to Honor Christo and Jeanne-Claude as 'Great Negotiators'

What’s the key to wrapping a national monument in shimmery polypropylene fabric? Covering valleys near Tokyo and Los Angeles with thousands of umbrellas? Installing 7,503 saffron gates in Central Park? Top-notch negotiation skills. On Tuesday evening, Harvard Law School’s Program on Negotiation will award artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude with its 2008 Great Negotiator Award, an honor created in 2000 to recognize individuals whose lifetime achievements in the field of negotiation and dispute resolution have had a significant and lasting impact.
