Booklist, Starred review "This book, chronicling both The Gates as well as the artists' other projects, is as thoughtful, eye-opening, and meticulous as the work it celebrates.Working in tandem are beautifully reproduced photographs (including a fabulous fold-out) that chronicles other grand projects, past and future. Solid back matter complements a stunningly designed book that can't help but excite readers about art." #xA0; Kirkus Reviews, Starred review#xA0; "In an immoderately engaging profile of arguably the most visible and widely known public artists alive today, Greenberg and Jordan retrace the duo's career and capture a sense of the wonder that their large-scale projects evoke.Based largely on interviews with the artists, this perceptive study is illustrated with big, eye-filling color photoscapped by a terrific foldout view of Christo at work in his shabby (last painted in 1964), cluttered New York studio. Quoting Jeanne-Claude's provocative "It has no purpose. It is not a symbol. It is not a message," the authors challenge readers/viewers in simple but never simplistic language to think long thoughts about the nature of art and their own personal responses to it.
