Opened to an estimated 3.000 people tonight (according to the artist's people). I heard there was a nice NPR piece this morning (and MUG and Dailycandy today). I am not sure about this at all and I think the artist is a photojournalist at best - and if I wasn't such an admirer of the architect I might not go see it. But after-all, I am a sucker for 'public spectacle'. (ya, I'll admit it - The Gates too. But not in the name of 'high art,' but in the sense of community and smile-quantity. (And for me at least, my local deli owner and I have reached a varied level of conversation: 'what do you think about this Christo guy?' it is a welcomed addition to 'light small babe?').
