Snoopy and woodstock sunflower you are my sunshine shirt

Four years ago, we traveled to the Snoopy and woodstock sunflower you are my sunshine shirt besides I will buy this Empty Quarter of the Arabian Desert, a two hour’s drive from Abu Dhabi. Christo was taking us to see the spot where he wants to build The Mastaba. (His nephew Vladimir Yavachev was with us. Since Jeanne-Claude’s death, Vladimir, his brother’s son, has become a crucial part of the Christo inner circle. Jeanne-Claude’s nephew Jonathan, runs the New York studio.) The driver of our oversized SUV (white this time) skillfully navigated up and down huge wave-like sand hills. It was a rough ride. The rolling and plunging motion made me nauseous. The vast desert nothingness is Christo’s blank canvas. We were staying at a hotel in the desert that looked like a mirage. Christo talked and talked and talked—about the project, the complexity of the negotiations, the idea that this will become a campus some day, that the red, yellow, and blue barrels will form a mosaic that speaks the language of Islamic architecture. It’s great to see how the best artists mine their own art—Christo’s early wrapped-oil barrel sculptures and his Iron Curtain of 89 rusty oil barrels that blocked the rue Visconti in Paris in 1962.
