Christo Builds Art Over a Colorado River

Christo has been wrapping big things for a long time.  From Sydney cliff faces to Reichstagg in Berlin and everything in between.

Now he's working on a new project in Askansas, USA.

Over The River is a temporary work of art by the artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude.  Christo plans to suspend 5.9 miles of silvery, luminous fabric panels high above the Arkansas River along a 42-mile stretch of the river between Salida and Cañon City in south-central Colorado.

Christo is currently working to obtain the necessary permits so that his team can begin the installation process. He is hoping to exhibit Over The River for two consecutive weeks in 
August, 2014.

I hope it comes together and we can see another amazing Christo creation soon.
