Feb 12 05: the gates
“The Gates,” the latest site-specific installation by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, has been unveiled at last in Central Park: 7,500 saffron-colored doorways of nylon and plastic, marching down the promenades and winding through the woods. Paul and I went to see.
It certainly changes the experience of Central Park. Against the wintry greyness of everything, these things blaze with orange exuberance. Sometimes they are a river; sometimes a parade; sometimes a mob. The whole damn town seemed to be there to look. I took some pictures.
