Bulgarian
environmental artist Christo has draped a mysterious array of landscapes and
objects in a distinguishing orange hue since the 1960s but few of his
installations have been as conceptually perplexing as his latest planned
installation. The Mastaba is to be an enduring flat-topped pyramid of oil
barrels located in the desert about 100 miles from Abu Dhabi. While oil-rich
nations vie for the dubious accolade of having the “world’s tallest building,”
Christo’s carving comprised of 410,000 oil barrels is set to make Abu Dhabi
home to the world’s largest lasting sculpture.
