Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Irony Free

Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Irony Free

The Christo Backlash continues apace. I received this amusing link over IM today: The Somerville Gates. From that site:

Often Hargo’s The Somerville Gates has been compared with Christo’s The Gates, Central Park, New York City. These comparisons have been unfair; sometimes the media has exaggerated – even lied – about the similarities.

Also, in case their corrections page, which I posted about earlier this week, is not sufficient evidence to you that Christo and Jeanne-Claude completely lack a sense of humor or irony about their work, allow me to direct you to Dana Vachon’s hilarious Q+A with the duo.
