Valley Curtain was a 1972 environmental artwork in which artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude raised an orange curtain of fabric across a mountainous span of Colorado State Highway 325. Preparations began within a year of their Australian Wrapped Coast. The artists formed a corporation to benefit from tax and other liabilities, a form they used for later projects. Following a failed attempt to mount the curtain in late 1971, a new engineer and builder-contractor raised the fabric in August 1972. The work only stood for 28 hours before the wind again destroyed the fabric. This work, their most expensive to date and first to involve construction workers, was captured in a documentary by David and Albert Maysles. Christo's Valley Curtain was nominated for Best Documentary Short in the 1974 Acade

- Valley Curtain (rideau de la vallée) est une œuvre de l'artiste Christo et de son épouse Jeanne-Claude, réalisée à Rifle, dans le Colorado, entre 1970 et 1972. Il s'agit d'un rideau de nylon orange monumental (12783 m²) tendu entre les massifs de Grand junction et Glenwood Spring. Sa largeur était de 381m, sa hauteur de 111m de chaque côté et de 55,5m au centre. Le 11 août 1972, après un jour d'exposition, un fort vent (100 km/h) imposait le «décrochage» de Valley Curtain.

Comme toutes les œuvres de Christo, Valley Curtain a été financé par la vente de croquis préparatoires, photographies, et autres objets en rapport avec Valley Curtain. (fr)
