Friday Photo: The Gates



I spent some years working for an NYC non-profit organization, shipping art prints.  It was a fun job and it connected me to many exotic people with fantastic names.  Most of the prints were of works by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, environmental artists.  I don't recall having liked one print particularly more than the others, but they were all pretty fantastic because they depicted works which were all of grand scale.


They've wrapped entire bridges, buildings, and islands.  This particular image was shot by Wolfgang Volz during their latest installment, The Gates (2005), in New York's Central Park.
