Monumental Kunst
Husker du mannen bak "The Running Fence" i 1976 og innpakkingen av Pont Neuf i Paris i 1985? Ikke det? Kanskje du husker innpakkingen av den tyske Riksdagen i Berlin i 1995?
Vel, nå er han i gang igjen. Han skal lage "The Gates" i Central Park i New York.
På nettsiden hans kan man lese følgende:
On January 22, 2003 Michael R. Bloomberg, Mayor of New York City, announced that the city has given permission to New York artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude to realize their temporary work of art:
The Gates, Central Park, New York, 1979-2005.
The 7500 Gates, 16 feet (4.87 meters) high with a width varying from 6 to 18 feet (1,82 m to 5,48 meters) will follow the edges of the walkways and will be perpendicular to the selected 23 miles of footpaths in Central Park.
Skikkelig jobb, det der!
