For permission to reproduce this essay, email me. To see photos of the The Gates project, go here. The Gates belongs on a slalom course rather than in New York Cityâs Central Park, because it doesnât fulfill the purpose of art. This essay was written before the Gates was installed. I stand by it, after seeing the Gates a dozen or more times on my commute through Central Park. In the depths of a cavern thousands of years ago, a figure laboriously scratched designs of animals and hunters onto a wall.
