In honor of The Gates 20th anniversary, we’re revisiting Christo’s preparatory drawing, "The Gates, Project for Central Park, New York City", from the Guggenheim’s collection. 🧡 This work played a crucial role in bringing The Gates to life, helping Christo and Jeanne-Claude visualize, fund, and advocate for their ambitious public art installation. When the project finally unfolded in 2005, its 7,500 saffron-colored archways transformed Central Park for just 16 days—but its impact remains. To celebrate this milestone, visit The Gates retrospective at The Shed in Hudson Yards and experience the installation in a new way through an augmented reality activation in Central Park, powered by Bloomberg Connects—on view through April 16!

Happy Birthday to Frank Gehry, the architect behind the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao! When the museum opened in 1997 with its distinctive titanium curves and soaring glass atrium, Gehry's design was declared as "the greatest building of our time”. His use of cutting-edge computer-aided design technology enabled him to create spaces unlike any others for the presentation of art. The museum is seamlessly integrated within Bilbao’s urban pattern and surrounding area, revitalizing the city, and drawing visitors from around the world. 📷: Photo by David Heald #FrankGehry #MuseoGuggenheim #GuggenheimBilbao
