Christo has died (Gates, Berlin: buyer, live, design)

[Cida]

I was always lukewarm about his art, but I liked the idea of his NYC spectacles, like those amazing orange gates in Central Park. I didn't know he lived here.

From my perspective anything can be labeled art. All you need is a buyer.
Nevertheless.............R.I.P.

I loved the Gates in Central Park, it reminded me of clotheslines with clothes blowing.



The orange thru out the stark leafless trees was so pretty.



The orange fabric billowing in the breeze was like the art exhibit coming to life.


I loved the gates in Central Park.

Ah, sorry to hear. Rest in peace. A little bit of NYC memory.
