With support from the Fuhrman Family Foundation, Public Art Fund, in collaboration with the City of New York, presented The New York City Waterfalls, a major work of public art by internationally acclaimed artist Olafur Eliasson (b.1967, Copenhagen, Denmark). 

The New York City Waterfalls, an exhibition of four man-made waterfalls of monumental scale, was located in the historic New York Harbor, a gateway to America for nearly four centuries, to showcase New York’s natural environment alongside the City’s industrial and commercial landscape.
