Sudhar’s Diary[ To Express, To Reflect, To Look Back ]

A project concieved long time ago ( 1979 ) came to reality this past weekend in Central Park, Manhattan. “The Gates”, an art of its own kind was unveiled around the 23 mile stretch of central parks inner roads. While it is tough for me to understand what the creators, Artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude were trying to say with this “Art”, It does look like they have an incredible background with such art and this latest one is quite well received and appreciated. Newyork metro quotes that ‘The Gates’ is financed entirely by its creators with not a penny of grants, city money, or donations, and is budgeted at $20 million. Not only that, they have designed so everything can be recycled 100%. The words “Passion without Boundaries” come to my mind.

Some more classic pictures and intriguing background info on the Christos at Slate.com and in case you were wondering, just as I was, this looks behind the scenes.

Of course, there will always be some critique.
