Christo Vladimirov Javacheff
(Bulgaria, 1935-2020)

"The Gates (Project for Central Park, New York City)", 2005

Signed Christo and Jeanne-Claude and numbered 12/13. C-print, image 57.5 x 92 cm. Including frame 73 x 106.5 cm.

More information

The Gates was a site-specific artwork by Bulgarian artist Christo Javacheff and French artist Jeanne-Claude, together known as Christo and Jeanne-Claude. The artists installed 7,503 steel ‘gates’ along 37 kilometres of walkways in Central Park in New York City. From each gate hung a panel of deep saffron-coloured nylon fabric. The exhibition ran from 12 February to 27 February 2005.
2025 marks the 20th anniversary of The Gates. To celebrate the project's anniversary, the Christo and Jeanne-Claude Foundation, along with The Shed, Central Park Conservancy, NYC Parks, and Bloomberg Philanthropies, launched a major exhibition at The Shed in Hudson Yards and an augmented reality exhibit in Central Park, giving visitors the chance to digitally relive the installation.
The exhibition at The Shed, 12 February - 23 March 2025, featured original artworks by Christo, such as drawings, scale models and components from the Central Park installation itself, as well as photographs and videos. The exhibition also included a virtual, animated, model of The Gates on a large-scale map of the original project site. In this way, visitors could follow the 25-year journey of negotiations, proposals and planning that culminated in the final realisation of the project.
