Subtitled Project for Central Park, New York City this publication by Guy Pieters Gallery documents The Gates, a site-specific, public work of art conceived by Christo and his wife and collaborator of many decades, Jeanne-Claude. Installed on twenty-three miles of pathways in New York’s Central Park from February 12-27, 2005, the project was comprised of 7,503 “gates”―post and lintel constructions evoking Japanese torii gates placed at the entrance to Shinto shrines―each draped with a panel of nylon saffron fabric. A feat of bureaucratic, technical, and civic planning, the project demanded tremendous resources. As with all of their large-scale works, Christo and Jeanne-Claude raised money to fund The Gates through sales of preparatory studies and sketches featured in this book.
