Hi IIE,
found your Gates gallery while strolling dpreview for news on the D-50.
You mentioned that you did not expect to be too enthusiastic about Christo and Jean Claude's Gates- and thus expected I- but your gallery is realy nice- great selection- I like the one with the mirror image in the lake and the Ice-skating field with the cones( though they are not safran ;o) best, but the others are not shabby either.
I remember when Christo and Jean-Claude "gift wrapped" the Reichstag in Berlin- everyone was sceptical- and it turned out such a nice event-looks like the Gates play in the same category.
And for everybody, who thinks that this is not art- well at least it was funded by the artists themselves, and recycled material was used or the material will be recycled- see it this way: no harm, and NY citizens love it as well as many tourists- great event and nice to be part of it.
