Forklifts in New York City are expected to begin moving 15,000 steel bases into place on January 3 for a public work of art that will allow visitors to Central Park to walk through 7,500 gates hung with panels of saffron-coloured fabric.
The monumental but only temporary work - The Gates, Central Park, New York, 1979-2005 - by European artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude, will consist of five-metre-high gates placed at intervals of about 3.5-metre along 37 kilometres of footpaths throughout the New York City park. Fabric will be suspended from each gate, falling to two metres above the ground.
Christo, who is Bulgarian, and Jeanne-Claude, who is French, are known for their large-scale public art pieces. They surrounded 11 islands in Miami with pink woven fabric in 1982, wrapped silver fabric around the German Reichstag in 1995 and opened 3,100 umbrellas in Japan and California in 1991.
The gates will be held in place by the steel bases, which were brought to the park beginning in December and will be moved gradually to designated spots along the park's footpaths on Monday afternoon, weather permitting.
The artists are paying for the project without sponsorship or donations.
