The Somerville gates

Often Hargo's "The Somerville Gates" has been compared with Christo's "The Gates", Central Park, New York City. These comparisons have been unfair; sometimes the media has exaggerated -- even lied -- about the similarities. Differences abound, and some of the most overlooked are listed below.

The gates are not for sale. Neither is the cat.

so the somerville gates are very simular to "The Gates" in New York central park. They are practically a copy.

If you go to

you can read about the original artist and all the offensive errors made about him and his work. They are all very funny.
