This morning, Danish artist Olafur Eliasson opened the spigot on his public art installation, “The New York City Waterfalls.” The artist, in association with the Public Art Fund, erected four 90- to 120-foot-tall waterfalls in the New York Harbor, situated in Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Governor’s Island.

Location

The waterfalls are located at the foot of one of of the Brooklyn Bridge towers (pictured); between Piers 4 and 5 in Brooklyn, adjacent the Brooklyn Heights Promenade; on Pier 35 in Manhattan, north of the Manhattan Bridge; and on the north shore of Governor’s Island.
