Four man-made waterfalls, 90 to 120 feet high, will punctuate New Yorkâs waterfront for three months starting in mid-July. The creation of the Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson, the project is a collaboration between the city and the Public Art Fund, the nonprofit organization that presents art around the city. The waterfalls (above, in a rendering) have been designed to be environmentally friendly and will be in New York Harbor at Pier 35 in Lower Manhattan, at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge and between Piers 4 and 5 in Brooklyn and at Governors Island. Money for the project, estimated to cost about $15 million, comes entirely from private funds, and the Economic Development Corporation estimates that the waterfalls will bring more than $50 million to the cityâs economy. âThroughout history we have always taken water for granted,â said Mr. Eliasson in a telephone interview from his Berlin studio. âNow people can engage in the physical nature of something as epic as a waterfall.â.
