In London, a 600-ton floating sculpture of 7500 barrels
American sculptor Hristo Yavashev spent about four million dollars for the creation and installation of his new sculpture titled “London emphasised” (London Mastaba).
A giant structure with a height of about 20 meters and weighing nearly 600 tons consists of 7.5 thousand colored barrels. And now she swims in the serpentine lake in Hyde Park.

The idea of a floating sculpture, Christo invented, along with his wife Jeanne-Claude. But the pair was unable to implement his plan — in 2009, the woman died. And now, nine years later, Aushev decided to give life to this project.

According to the artist, “emphasised London”, inscribed in the world, should look like an abstract painting: due to the shape of the barrels, the installation can “change” its shape and color depending on the lighting.
