Lee Bul Artist Exhibition Crashing Southbank Centre Hayward Gallery London

The London Mastaba, Christo’s first major outdoor work in Britain, is now floating in the middle of the lake in Hyde Park. A trapezoidal pyramid of 7,506 painted and horizontally stacked barrels, it is 66 feet tall – as tall as the Sphinx in Egypt – and weighs roughly 600 tons. Named after a flat-roofed structure with sloping sides that originated some 6,000 years ago in Mesopotamia (the word “mastaba” means “bench” in Arabic), it is a test for a mastaba roughly eight times as high that Christo hopes to put up in the desert in Abu Dhabi.
