In 1996, Christo and Jeanne-Claude decided that the Arkansas River – more specifically the part of this river between Salida and Cañon City, on the eastern flank of the Rocky Mountains, where the banks are high enough – would be the perfect place for 'About TheRiver'. Over a distance of 11 kilometers, the river would be spanned with transparent fabric panels, which would be attached horizontally and 7 meters above water level to steel cables anchored in the bank. The artwork would only be on display for two weeks during the summer, and it would take 27 months to complete and another 3 months to demolish the structure. This temporary and ephemeral aspect is characteristic of Christo's oeuvre and of land art, the art movement in which artists work in and with the landscape.
