The Gates
In 1979, the provocative artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude approached New York
City officials with a proposal to create a temporary, large-scale work of art in Central Park.
The city turned them down. Twenty-four years and several administrations later, following
dozens of high-concept, high-profile works of landscape art in numerous urban and rural
locations around the globe, they finally got the city's approval to complete their vision.
THE GATES chronicles the decades-long struggle of Christo and Jeanne-Claude
to bring their most ambitious work of art to life. Premieres Tuesday, February 26 at 10pm ET/PT. Read more.
