Waterfalls Tour Add to NYC Landscape
Building off of the success of Christo’s “The Gates,” the newest art project for the city of New York will be four giant waterfalls cascading into the East River between Manhattan and Brooklyn.
The Scandinavian artist Olafur Eliasson has been commissioned to build the falls which are expected to contribute $50 million to the economy of the city. ‘New York City Waterfalls‘ will be on display from mid-July to mid-October and will even be illuminated in the evenings.
We’re excited about this great new attraction in the city, building off the natural beauty of the water to create a stunning new artwork. It’s a beautiful juxtaposition against the skyscrapers and steel structures of the city, giving NYC a taste of the wonders of nature.
