Gate "Art" in Central Park

Christo and Jeanne-Claude will erect 16-foot-high gates placed along 23 miles of footpaths in Central Park, New York. Saffron-colored fabric will be suspended from each gate, falling to 7 feet above the ground.
Jeanne-Claude said they were hopeful it would cost less than $21 million, but he added they would not know the final amount until the piece is completed.
"We truly don't know," he said. "It is very much like a child. It will cost us whatever it has to cost."
Christo and Jeanne-Claude are known for their large-scale public art pieces. They surrounded 11 islands off Miami with pink woven fabric in 1982, opened 3,100 umbrellas in Japan and California in 1991 and wrapped silver fabric around the German Reichstag in 1995.
