"Over The River, Project for the Arkansas River, State of Colorado"
The internationally renowned artists will suspend horizontally 5.9 miles
of silvery, luminous fabric panels high above the water of the Arkansas
River at eight aesthetically selected areas along a 40-mile stretch between
Salida and Cañon City. The artists have loaned two “Over The
River, Project for the Arkansas River, State of Colorado,” preparatory
works of art created by Christo to Corporate Collections ‘08. As with
all of their previous works of art, the Colorado project is financed entirely
by Christo and Jeanne-Claude through the sale of Christo’s original
works. The artists do not accept donations or sponsorships of any kind.
