Oh BTW - on the same day in October, 1991 he and Jeanne-Claude unfurled 1340 blue umbrellas along a river valley in Ibaraki, Japan (~1 hour outside of Tokyo).

15 years ago I drove down to NYC to photograph the Gates of Central Park. RIP Christo, you left your mark

I worked for a company that made those giant umbrella posts for several of his projects. I talked with him a few times. RIP Christo

Christo had an Arkansas River project here in Colorado that was abandoned. It was a contentious issue after it was proposed. A vast majority of locals who I spoke to did not support it. i and my friends certainly did not. Drilling holes into cliffs and hanging fabric across the canyon was not what people wanted. Glad it never happened.
