Work: 83 x 62 cm
Frame: 84 x 63 cm

Christo and Jeanne-Claude's vision for Over The River was conceived in 1992 and included 9.5 kilometers (5.9 miles) of silvery, luminous fabric panels to be suspended clear of and high above the water in eight distinct areas along a 67.6-kilometer (42-mile) stretch of the Arkansas River between Cañon City and Salida in south-central Colorado. In August 1992, 1993 and 1994, in search of a site for the project, Christo and Jeanne-Claude and their team traveled 22,530 kilometers (14,000 miles) in the Rocky Mountains in the United States. On those trips, the team prospected eighty-nine rivers, in seven states, and six possible locations were found. After visiting the six sites again in the summer of 1996, the Arkansas River in Colorado was selected. - Over the River (Project for Arkansas River, State of Colorado Parkdale Siding, Spikebuck, Wellsville, Echo, 1997).
