From Calvin Tomkins' March 29, 2004, profile of Christo and Jeanne-Claude:
At a lecture at the Pratt Institute in 1980, when someone asked why they refused to consider situating "The Gates" in an alternate location, [Jeanne-Claude] answered, "Sir, did you marry the woman you loved, or an alternate woman?" At the Bloomberg press conference last January, when a reporter pressed her to give a cost figure for "The Gates," she told him, "Go and ask your mother if she could give an estimate for the cost of raising you."

If you haven’t already seen it, check out this NYT article on the “Somerville Gates,” a $3.50 project by a Bostonite that’s truly marvelous in its (tiny) scope and inclusion of furry house pets. http://www.not-rocket-science.com/gates.htm
Sorry, meant to include the URL of the NY Times article, not just the one for the project: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/19/arts/design/19gate.html?incamp=article_popular_5
For the lazy link-follower, those are Somerville Gates and NY Times piece. (The pix were also featured on Panopticist last week.)
