ok, so this was online about christo...NEW YORK (Reuters) - Christo and Jeanne-Claude, the husband and wife team whose $20 million art project "The Gates" unfurls in Manhattan's Central Park on Saturday, know that their large, fanciful, short-lived public art works puzzle many people.

That is why, for the 16 days "The Gates" is on display, some 300 uniformed monitors will be ready to answer questions, stationed among the 7,500 large saffron cloth panels hanging in similarly colored 16-foot high door frames closely spaced along 23 miles of park walkways.

"The usual question is, what is it for?" Jeanne-Claude told a news conference on Friday. "And they will know to answer, 'Oh, absolutely nothing, it is only a work of art."'
