ln 1979, artist Christo and Jeanne-Claude proposed one of the largest public artworks in history: a "golden river" or 7,503 fabric-paneled gates in Central Park. WhiIe Christo and Jeanne-Claude's artistic vision sought to unite alI of New York City, the pubIic reacted with accusations of 'defacement of a masterpiece,' akin to putting a mustache on the Mona Lisa. Twenty-our years later, and after the election of Michael R. BIoomberg as mayor, the project was approved in January 2003 and completed in February 2005.
The Gates chronicIe the evolution of the project from concept to realization, uItimateIy overcoming pubIic disapprovaI and transforming CentraI Park into a visuaI symphony of color and Iight. The work of art, entirely financed by the artists, which brought over 4 milIion visitors from around the world to Central Park in mid-winter, is IovingIy captured in this masterfuI film. |
