Christo Central Park Project Clears Another Hurdle

A group that helps run New York’s Central Park has approved plans by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, to “erect 7,500 rectangular steel gates, each 15 feet tall with golden nylon streaming from it.” The artists have been trying to get permission for the project for 20 years “The plan still needs approval from the city’s parks department. Mayor Michael Bloomberg has said he supports it.”
