Not long after his friend Germano Celant’s death Christo now follows. Christo taught us how to see things with fresh eyes, to notice things we may have passed many times by adding something that transported it to another realm. A lake is not just a lake (Iseo, Italy) a fence not just a fence (Running Fence, California) a bridge not just a bridge (Pont Neuf, Paris) a path not just a path (The Gates, Central Park) a building not just a building (Reichstag, Berlin) and so on. He was about to teach us a monumental arch was not just an arch (Paris Arc de Triomphe). Here at Lake Iseo in 2016 he taught us how to Walk on Water. His nimble, creative audacious eye and spirit will be missed.
