On February 12, 2005, weather permitting, New York artists Christo and JeanneClaude will complete their temporary work of art, The Gates, Project for Central Park, New York City, 19792005.First conceived in 1979, Christo and JeanneClaude's vision of 7,500 gates (each 16 feet high), following the edges of Central Park's 23 miles of footpaths, will transform Central Park. Saffroncolored fabric panels will hang seven feet above the ground blowing in the wind and delighting the public walking beneath with a warm glow of translucent color and freefloating grace. The project will remain for 16 days before The Gates is removed and the materials recycled.This book, designed by Christo, records the evolution of The Gates project. Thirtyeight fullcolor illustrations of Christo's original preparatory works from early sketches of Central Park to his most recent drawings, collages, maps, and technical diagrams serve as the centerpiece for this book. Photographs from the community board hearings, public forums, public and private meetings, contract negotiations, and lifesize tests complement the running narrative in this book, giving readers an insider's perspective on The Gates.
