From today's NYTimes:
"Her 11-year-old son, Samuel G*******e, had no doubt that the gates were art. 'Art is Fauvism, Pointillism, abstract,' he said, looking at rows of pleated nylon fabric floating slightly at the whiff of a breeze. 'This is Christo - is that his name, I forget? - this is his art, his own interpretation.'
Samuel liked knowing that 'The Gates' would be on view for only two weeks. 'Like all art, if it's always there it doesn't feel so special,' he said, with the savvy of a shrewd museum director. 'It's like a special Matisse show at a museum. You feel lucky if you get to see it.'
"Is that his name?" Of course you know that's his name, Little Miss Thing! Like a special Matisse show, indeed.
