Christo & Jeanne-Claude: The Gates - Reviews
"Ceux qui n`ont pas pu aller à New York entre le 12 et le 27 février pour admirer l`extraordinaire installation de Christo et de sa femme Jeanne-Claude, pourront se consoler avec ce petit ouvrage. Vingt ans après l`emballage du Pont-Neuf à Paris, l`audacieux projet - autofinancé par les artistes - a vu Central Park et ses grisailles d`hiver transformés en une sorte d`immense temple bouddhique grâce à 7 500 portes de tissu, couleur safran, montées sur des barres métalliques de 15 mètres de haut et flottant au vent…Ce livre, montrant les dessins préparatoires de la performance, sera suivi par un second ouvrage augmenté de 16 pages avec le projet in situ."La Revue, ParisFrance |

"Christo and Jeanne-Claude finally completed their long-term project, The Gates, which was held in New York City's Central Park in February. TASCHEN, always ahead of the game, was involved with the project from its very beginning in order to be there and record the event from all angles. The final shooting was done during the event, and are published now in this wonderful book."Japan Design Net, TokyoJapan |

"Han tardado 25 años, pero lo han conseguido. Christo y Jeanne-Claude, dos personas distintas pero un solo artista, inauguraron la semana pasada su obra más exigente: Las puertas, una espectacular intervención en el Central Park neoyorkino. (...) La obra se desmontará a fin de mes, pero para dejar constancia la editorial TASCHEN ha documentado en dos libros todo el proceso. Para que nadie se olvide."El Semanal, MadridSpain |
