Despite Losing Sierra Club Support, Environmental Groups Continue to Fight Latest Christo Installation Project

Across the country, but continuing this early-winter’s theme of art controversies, the battle over the artist Christo‘s plans to assemble a new, massive installation along the Arkansas River in rural Colorado, called “Over the River,” continues to be heated. Per usual with the artist’s works, there’s the group who doesn’t want him touching their turf and there’s the other side who do. In this case, environmentalists have been attempting to push the project away, saying his desire to put up nearly 6 miles of fabric along the river will disrupt not just the natural beauty of the place, but nature as well.
