Christo's Mastaba is a large-scale sculpture project by the late artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude, known for their temporary and monumental works that transform the environment. The word "mastaba" means "bench" in Arabic and refers to an ancient Egyptian tomb with a rectangular base and sloping sides. Christo and Jeanne-Claude envisioned a mastaba with thousands of oil barrels, as a symbol of the industrial age and the role of oil in the global economy.
The first mastaba project was designed in 1977 for the desert of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It is said to have been the world's largest sculpture, with 410,000 multicolored barrels forming a mosaic of bright colors that contrast with the sand.
