This book compiles documentation for two unrealized projects by the
legendary duo of Christo (born 1935) and Jeanne-Claude (1935-2009):
"The Mastaba," a project conceived in 1977 for the United Arabic
Emirates, and "Over the River," a project recently conceived for
the Arkansas River. "Mastaba," Arabic for "bench," is proposed as a
sculpture of approximately 410,000 horizontally stacked and
variously colored oil barrels. Trees and shrubbery would be planted
around the Mastaba as a windbreak against the sand and windstorms;
the area adjacent to the walkways approaching the Mastaba would
resemble an oasis with flowers and grass. "Over the River" consists
of a succession of fabric panels to be suspended above the Arkansas
River, for a period of two weeks sometime between mid-July and
mid-August of any given year in the future (2013 at the earliest).
Both projects are fully illustrated with preparatory drawings and
photographs of the proposed locations.
