New York City Waterfalls: An Installation


Not since Christo and Jeanne-Claude draped Central Park with blood orange fabric for "The Gates" has there been a larger public art installation as four "New York City Waterfalls", created by Danish-Icelandic artist, Olafur Eliasson. This project took over two years to execute and cost over $15.5 million. "It's about time and experiencing space," Eliasson commented.

"Water has great potential to be both physical and very elusive, it can be many different things for many different people." (Via AFP)

Is this grand environmental art installation worth the money? Comments?
