It's really too bad that Over The River was never finished. I always like the idea a lot, and would have gone out there to see it. Anyway he and jean-claude moved on and did other pretty great things.
- mc32 6y agoHe did do the pink surrounded islands thing in Florida which was a pretty big endeavor on water.
- wyclif 6y agoThat was the first thing I'd ever seen by him when I was a kid (in a photo that was part of a National Geographic piece). I wish I could have seen it in person. I remember thinking how audacious it was to wrap an island in pink plastic and call it art. It was also my first exposure to large scale temporary art installation pieces.
- cull 6y agoOver the River was one of many projects that Christo was deeply passionate about. When I spoke to him about the project six years ago he was still hopeful about it; it had been a non-realized project started with Jeanne-Claude. And he spoke of finishing their vision even after her passing, which seemed to affect him greatly. I am saddened of his passing.
