Christo, "Big Air Package" at the Gasometer Oberhausen

In December 2013 I made a pilgrimage to Christo's latest artwork, "Big Air Package" at the Gasometer Oberhausen in Oberhausen, Germany.  The work was only the latest in a series of "air package" executed by Christo and his late partner Jean-Claude since the 1960s.  The installation is monumental.  It is constructed of silver, polyurethane fabric within a gas tower that is 90 meters high, and visitors can enter into the base to be immersed in the soft glowing white atmosphere.
