Most Think Olafur Elliasson’s Waterfalls Sucked

October 14, 2008 by hv

The unscientific poll on Curbed went live yesterday and continues to evolve (those who hated the waterfalls were only at 42% yesterday) but I think most people, including me, agree Olafur Eliasson’s project was a lame, expensive and poorly thought out concept.

Regardless of how the idea of the Waterfalls seduced Mayor “Gimme a Third Term” Bloomberg, the Mayor and all New Yorker were scammed by an artist who should’ve known better.

Can someone ask Christ & Jeanne-Claude to come back?
