4.0 out of 5 stars
Great book
the book was exactly what we were looking for, it was a little more beat up than we had anticipated, but the content and colored pictures are fantastic!

THIS IS ART????/
What these men do is not art, it is junk. Real art is Picasso, Renoir, Rodin, Ansel Adams etc... Since this is not art,logically any book about "the gates" is a waste of money. Anybody who thinks that what this book shows is art should look up the word pretentious.

A Masterpiece of Public Art,
By Richard Coeur de Lion "Free Man In Paris" (BOSTON, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Christo and Jeanne-Claude: On the Way to The Gates, Central Park, New York City (Hardcover)
The Central Park Gates Project will be remembered as the first great public art installation of the 21st century. Christo's gift to New York City was immersive, democratic and profoundly spiritual. If you want to understand the thought, passion and effort that went into this masterpiece, then this is the book for you.

Book is awesome and so was the project.,
By Bill "RebelFag68" (New Orleans, LA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Christo and Jeanne-Claude: On the Way to The Gates, Central Park, New York City (Hardcover)
The Gates was too cool. As with all art, it is subjective. One person might consider junk, is anothers treasure. The Gates was a sight to see. We went on a trip to NY to see them. TOO COOL! The book is great.

The Gates by Christo and Jeanne-Claude,
By Joseph S. Maresca "Dr. Joseph S. Maresca CPA,... (Bronxville, New York USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Christo and Jeanne-Claude: On the Way to The Gates, Central Park, New York City (Hardcover)
This book depicts a project began by the authors circa 1979.The presentation contains many full-color pictures i.e. The Wrapped Coast of Sydney, Australia. The Wrapped Coast is a spectacular presentation of a rock formation set in contrast to the sea and sky. The work has a presentation by Da Vinci in Milan and a panorama of umbrellas called the "Japan Gates". The volume is well worth the price for art and world culture enthusiasts.
