Waterfalls as Urban Art (UPDATE) - The New York City Waterfalls Now Open (GALLERY)
Installation will cost $15 million, funded by private donations to New York's Public Art Fund.
"It's about seeing water in a different way," Eliasson told a news conference on Wednesday, unveiling plans for the waterfalls, which will range in height from 90 to 120 feet -- around the same as the Statue of Liberty from head to toe.
The falls will be in place from mid-July to mid-October.
