BTW, did you check out their website? Apparently, referring to them as "Christo" is a common error:<BR/>"The artist is not Christo.

This beach is quite hard to get access to. You have to walk across a private golf course (yes, there is public access) or along a lengthy cliff top walk. It was part of a public hospital area (The Coast Hospital) which has now been sold off for private development - and when I visited there were secutiry guards on the access roads! But because there has to be public access to beaches, there will have to be some way through.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06459567597804197579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26498016.post-8214139105322664352007-07-24T07:37:00.000+10:002007-07-24T07:37:00.000+10:00I have to admit that I always thought that Christo...I have to admit that I always thought that Christo was a loon but then art is supposed to be subjective isn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26498016.post-32691187694672368732007-07-24T07:21:00.000+10:002007-07-24T07:21:00.000+10:00Interesting commentary and photos.

Absolutely priceless now of course, and the one truly great piece of modern art in Australia. Without exception. [I think it is superb - better than the Pollock works in his native New York, to my mind]. I heard Betty Churcher (former Nat Gallery director) interviewed. She said that even the merest hint that the gallery MIGHT be prepared to THINK about lending it was enough to secure international loans of all sorts of incredible riches for exhibitions! I don't think she ever did have to lend it!Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06459567597804197579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26498016.post-53895207473692359982007-07-23T17:14:00.000+10:002007-07-23T17:14:00.000+10:00NZ (and I assume Oz to a lesser extent) were less ...NZ (and I assume Oz to a lesser extent) were less than liberal when it came to culture in the 1950s and 60s<BR/>The Nelson Mail wrote recently "Only a "poofter" would know words of three or more syllables, let alone use one in normal conversation" <BR/>When the Auckland Art Gallery bought Jacob Epstein's "Rock Drill in 1961, you would have thought the aliens were invading...jbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02360120000195750160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26498016.post-22303491935952315552007-07-23T16:14:00.001+10:002007-07-23T16:14:00.001+10:00j'adore les travaux de Christo (et de sa femme Jea...j'adore les travaux de Christo (et de sa femme Jeanne).
