Update: Christo’s “Over the River” overcomes a hurdle

A couple of years ago we posted a story about how Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s “Over the River,” a project where the artists would drape material over parts of the Arkansas River in Colorado, faced local and potentially national opposition. The New York Times reports that Christo (collaborator and wife Jeanne-Claude has since passed away) received an important green light from the U.S. Department of the Interior (see their statement here). Local permits are still needed and may delay or derail it.
