Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Remembering the Running Fence August 12, 2010

'Running Fence' was a major early work by world-renowned artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Paid for entirely by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, this completed monumental temporary artwork existed for only two weeks in September of 1976. This exhibition includes components from the actual project, nearly fifty original preparatory drawings and collages, a 58-foot long scale model, and more than 240 photographs by Wolfgang Volz documenting the process and the many personalities involved with the project. Also included in the exhibition is a film by the legendary American filmmakers Albert and David Maysles, with Charlotte Zwerin.
