Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Barrels and The Mastaba 1958-2018

Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s 20-meter-high Mastaba in London’s Hyde Park From June 19 to September 23, 2018, London’s Hyde Park will host Christo and Jeanne-Claude's newest installation: The Mastaba (Project for London, Hyde Park, Serpentine Lake). The temporary sculpture takes cues from mastabas of the first urban civilizations of Mesopotamia. These Mastabas were mud benches with two vertical sides, two slanted sides and a flat top. Towering at 20 meters high and with its 500 tons anchored to the Serpentine Lake, this waterborne project will gather 7,506 painted oil barrels to create a floating mosaic of red, white, blue, and mauve.
