Christo's Gates

Alas, we will not be in New York in time to see the "Gates" installation in Central Park, by Christo and Jeanne Claude. (No, this is not a Microsoft/Bill Gates plug!). Read more about this incredible work of public art at www.christojeanneclaude.net. Aside from being terrifically beautiful, this enormous work of art is a direct reflection of the original desire of Central Park's designers to have gates leading into the park. Kudos to Mayor Bloomberg for making this installation (something that his predecessors - dating back over 20 years - declined to do). Take that, Guiliani!
