I finally saw them yesterday and I loved them. They're a very happy orange and absolutely brilliant in the sunlight. Walking through them reminded me of the palace in the movie "Hero" with all the green fabric hanging from the ceiling. It was like being part of an enormous royal court... outdoors. I'm no theorist when it comes to art, but I appreciate "The Gates" just as I do everything else that inspires emotion.
