$50,000? How many trips from NYC to Niagara Falls can you have with that amount? And you can always Nigara fall up close in those tour boats for $50. Niagara Falls, is a natural phenomenon, not man-made. The only phenomenon with this Christo's waterfall is the ludicrous price. Another example of man's pride. Remember, Pride is the greatest sin of all, and the cause of Satan's fall.

The biggest difference between this and the Gates is that the Gates didn't charge 50K to get close to. Having said that, I'd watch the waterfall flip the boat over for nothing.

Pure publicity stunt, like that "$10,000 coctail". Circle Line knows that only weird-ass rich russians and Donald Trump would ever take this bait...they just want the rest of us on their boat, spending $200 to wonder why that "mist" is strangely oily.

I hear ya tien mao... but first you have to become a big successful arteest, then mumble the diamond encrusted poncho vision to any arts organization and they will all ooooh and aaaaah, and you'll be receiving a standing ovation. saying that the project is all about nature and the urban condition would seal the deal.

The best public art is inaccessible to the public.
