Interestingly enough, Christo's best works are probably most easily appreciated when they're well photographed. I've seen some stunning shots of the fence. That seems to be true of the Central Park gates as well. The pattern of orange gates weaving their way through the leafless trees is the artistry of this work. I find it quite beautiful and wish I could see it in person. As Christo explains, it doesn't mean anything. It's nothing more than a pretty picture, which will soon be erased. I find much of his work silly and irrelevant, such as the cloking of the Reichstag and the island surround. But I think the Central Park gates are quite compelling. Paul =========== I thought the fence made a lot more sense than some of the other things. Especially in California's foothills that get more and more interesting as the day ends -- shadows, folds, etc.
I was sorry I missed it. Marnie aka Doe
