Christo and Jeanne Claude's The Gates will begin work in Central Park (NY) on Jan. 3, 2005. The Gates should be open to the public by Feb. 12, and will remain for 16 days.

"For those who will walk through The Gates, following the walkways, and staying away from the grass, The Gates will be a golden ceiling creating warm shadows. When seen from the buildings surrounding Central Park, The Gates will seem like a golden river appearing and disappearing through the bare branches of the trees and will highlight the shape of the footpaths." ~Christo website.
