Enchantment at the Gates

No Bill here, this installation is actually interesting.

I have to admit being a teeny tiny bit disappointed when I saw the first pictures of the latest Christo and Jeanne-Claude installment in New York City's Central Park. The main reason for this little disappointment were the wonderful drawings that Christo published last year. Drawings that were so vibrant in color and so lively that I couldn't wait to see the real thing.

The press coverage here in Europe was rather poor on the whole thing, so when I saw some gray-ish images of washed out linen, it was an awkward feeling. Browsing over to Christo and Jeanne-Claude's site I could see some better pictures, like this one and somehow this magical moment comes across, the moment that I felt when seeing Christo's sketches and drawings in 2004.

My name is Frank and I do believe this is art!
