The water’s edge Striking contemporary art and the superlative natural beauty of the Italian lakes – Black Tomato’s latest itinerary is a dream for aesthetes. The high-end travel specialist has developed a unique experience centered around a majestic floating artwork – above, right and below. Celebrated installation artist Christo will create Floating Piers, an almost two-mile-long walkway across Lake Iseo, made from shimmering yellow fabric carried by a modular dock system of 200,000 high-density polyethylene cubes floating on the water. The piece can be viewed from June 19 to July 3. Black Tomato can arrange a three-night holiday to Milan and Lake Iseo. Guests will fly with PrivateFly from NYC to Milan in a luxurious 12-seater private jet, stay at the Bulgari Hotel in Milan in a Superior Suite for three nights, enjoy private road transfers to Lake Iseo to view the Floating Piers, followed by tours to view Milan’s contemporary design culture. From $14,000pp based on a group of 12 traveling, flying out of New York. blacktomato.com
