The Gates by Christo and Jean Claude

a one of a kind artistic triumph in NYC

By Revista Miko:XCI Published about a month ago • 1 min read

Many years ago in Central Park in New York City there was a beautiful installation by artistic duo Christo and Jean Claude called “The Gates”. It was set up along the entire walking path in Central Park and lasted a good long time to the point that it over stayed its welcome in the opinion of some but not mine but after a while some New Yorkers had formed the opinion. The piece was orange frames with safron curtains like those that Buddhist monks wear draped over them. I wish that I had had the chance to experience but I missed out. I just want to say that the staff who approved the project for the park are geniuses.
