Christo Documentary: The Gates (2007)
In February 2005, 7,503 gates made from steel frames and a saffron-colored nylon fabric adorned New York City’s Central Park. This documentary called “The Gates,” by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, chronicles the work that went into New York City’s biggest public art project. Artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude overcame various municipal and political hurdles. Once completed, the installation elicited a full range of reactions from celebrities and non-famous alike.
