Back in 1979 what were the chances of Christo and Jeanne-Claude constructing a giant artwork stretching 23 miles through Central Park? After all, Central Park is New Yorkers’ big backyard, the place where they run, bike, walk dogs, play ball, skate, and even take rides in horse-drawn carriages. It has acres of green grass. Thousands of stately trees. Long curving paths, a lake, ponds, fountains, a castle, a zoo, sculptures, and a merry-go-round. The mayor was skeptical of the artists’ proposal. Some environmentalists worried about it damaging the park’s trees, plants, and wildlife. In 1981, the Parks Commissioner published a 185-page book saying “no.”
