There are Eastern influences: the gates remind me of Japanese war banners and the Great Wall of China.Close. Golden Horde. Mongol camp. Barbarians at the Gates of Rome (New York, USA). Painfully obvious.
Painfully obvious that I have no idea what it's about but my interpretation is at least provocative.

Is it supposed to look garish?

It seems to have stirred a passion in you that has gone beyond the exhibit. Something every artist strives to do. Good for him and for you.

This "art" does nothing but obscure what is truly beautiful - the park. Olmstead is the artist here, not Christo.

Thanks for your take. Christo does have a unique vision and the first impulse is always to laugh, but like his California Umbrellas, people who actually
see his installations are moved and impressed.
I love the fact that he and Jean Claude were born on the same day, have the same passion for his art and have stayed in love for all these years. La ve a belle!

Jean Claude is a man's name. Christo's wife is Jeanne-Claude :-)
