Christo & Company is, so far as I can tell, the first real estate artist. Some people -- snobs -- sneer at that; I admire the judgment & skill & daring it takes to pull off their projects (i.e. Christo and his wife work as a team).
Tyler Green takes note of the Central Park Gates and also NEW CRITERION'S (extremely predictable) bleats.
Me? It's a great excuse to see New York City this winter.
More opinions on the Gates: here an old con and then a more recent pro.
UPDATE: We'll be in NYC on February 15-16 to see The Gates!
And, thanks to an alert from reader JTMcCann, I have just purchased tickets for Boozy: The Life, Death, and Subsequent Vilification of Le Corbusier
