Christo (1935-2020) - Running Fence

An authentic sample of the white fabric used for the monumental installation Running Fence by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, created in 1976 in California. This fragment comes directly from the iconic work that deployed a vast textile barrier more than 39 kilometers long, spanning hills and landscapes to the Pacific Ocean. Framed with a map of the installation, this sample constitutes a rare, tangible piece of the duo’s creative process, emblematic of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s early monumental interventions and the history of Land Art.
