Christo to drape stretch of river
Artist Christo, who specializes in huge public art pieces, is moving forward with plans to drape a canopy over the Arkansas River.
Buoyed by the success of “The Gates, Central Park,” which opened in New York in February, Christo and his wife, Jeanne-Claude, are going to Colorado to renew their work on “Over the River,” a project to cover a six-mile stretch of the Arkansas with huge pieces of clear fabric.
The project was conceived nearly a decade ago, and if the artists can get past permit hurdles, it would take several more years to construct.
