“Christo and Jeanne-Claude: The Gates and Unrealized Projects for New York City” will run at The Shed from February 12 through March 23. This landmark exhibition marks the 20th anniversary of The Gates, the artists’ monumental work of temporary public art that was installed in Central Park in February 2005, It consisted of 7,503 saffron-colored gates adorned with free-flowing fabric that spanned 23 miles of pathways and transformed the iconic park.
The first part of the exhibition includes original art works by Christo, such as drawings, scale models, and components from the Central Park installation itself, as well as photographs and videos. The exhibition also includes a virtual, animated model of The Gates on a large-scale map of the original project location, designed by technology studios Dirt Empire and Pixels Pixels.
The second part showcases a selection of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s other visionary proposals for New York City that, though never realized, reveal the duo’s ambitious and innovative spirit and their deep connection to the city they called home from 1964 until their deaths. For the first time in the United States, these works will be presented through scale models and digital reproductions of Christo’s drawings, offering a glimpse into the creative processes behind the duo’s large-scale public art projects.
