The Yellow Umbrellas by Christo
Exhibited in California (USA), Tejon RanchImage courtesy of vintage_chic_88.
The plan was to have yellow and blue umbrellas set up in California and Japan at the same time.
The colors were intended to complement the landscape in which they were placed; the yellow umbrellas were chosen to accent the amber-colored grassy hills of Southern California, and the blue umbrellas were chosen to accent the lush greenery around the river in Japan, along which they were placed.
By September 7 1991, 1,340 blue screens in Ibaraki and 1,760 yellow screens at the Tejon Ranch in southern California had been set up; the exhibition opened on October 9, 1991. In total, 3 million people saw the screens.
