Yea, I just saw that thread.

So NYC is a lala land where they think Hillary is honest and good for the country, and orange fabric around the walk ways is a brilliant artistical move, many years in the making...ok




Brilliant!

YOu know, they would have looked a lot better, and, oddly enough, made a bigger impact, had they not been placed so close together. It looks like a jumble right now.

Here is a work by Christo that was commissioned for the Bicentennial in 1976 ("America: The Third Century"). It has hung on my wall since I bought it almost 30 years ago. It is his vision of what a stack of 55 gallon drums might look like next to a two lane blacktop in Texas. I always liked it.

I've always liked Christo's work. Thanks for the photo, as I hadn't seen this installation yet.

If you are walking past it or around it, it will definitely look different from the way it looks in the photo. A matter of perspective, which is always part of Christo's creations.

The fun and fascination of much of modern art is moving around it at watching it change and shift and affect you in different ways. I always enjoy art that has an element of playfulness, the creative part of the human spirit.

I wish he'd come wrap the gloomy place I live in something saffron --and soon.
