The Waterfalls of New York City Are Flowing
By newsguy | June 30, 2008
New York City’s latest tourist attraction is now spilling over the East River. The Waterfalls are an outdoors art installation by Danish artist Olafur Eliasson, and can be viewed until October 13th.
At approximately 98 feet high and up to 65 feet wide, the Waterfalls on Governor’s Island beneath the Brooklyn bridge can be seen from both Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Eliasson says, “Water has great potential to be both physical and very elusive, it can be many different things for many different people.”
New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg concurred. He called the Waterfalls a symbol of “energy and vitality”.
The Waterfalls were unveiled on June 27th.
