The 20th anniversary of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's iconic installation, The Gates, honors its monumental impact on New York City. Originally proposed in the 1970s but realized in February 2005, the project featured 7,503 saffron-colored gates that spanned 23 miles throughout Central Park. Attracting over four million visitors in just 16 days, The Gates helped the city heal after the September 11 attacks. To commemorate its legacy, a retrospective featuring an exhibition at The Shed and augmented reality experiences allows audiences to revisit the project and view original art pieces and schematics.
The Gates, which consisted of 7,503 saffron-colored gates spread across Central Park, welcomed over four million visitors during its sixteen-day run, becoming a beloved memory.
The retrospective, commemorating The Gates' 20th anniversary, brings forth original drawings, models, and an augmented reality experience, allowing audiences to reconnect with Christo and Jeanne-Claude's vision.
