Here is a picture my mom took when she visited The Gates about 6 years ago. The event was a Christo and Jeanne-Claude work where 7,503 vinyl "gates" were planted along 23 miles in Central Park, NYC. She even got a piece of the gates when the volunteers were handing out the nylon fabric. In fact, to this day, the fabric is still in my wallet. I seem to have good luck with it, so it will stay there. I'm not sure what the content of the art work was or if there were any significant meaning. Does anyone know?
Lucky you to have a piece of that work! What odes it mean is the million dollar question, but some things to think about: the artists other work and "style"; also about the color selected and the time of year it was installed; and also about scale.
ReplyDeleteGreat image by your mom!
