Having not yet visited Christo’s The Gates installation in Central Park, I can’t say whether the Somerville Gates really compare. But, the creator of the latter does.

i saw the gates. it was sort of nothing, not even enough for me to have a problem with it. i guess my main thought was that if nobody had mentioned it, or named it, or hyped it, or if the exact thing had been in some local park somewhere else, it would have barely been noticed — no more than you give particular notice to holiday decorations in a park or some other public area. i guess the pointlessness of it is what makes it get noticed.
