Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Remembering the Running Fence

April 01, 2010 - September 26, 2010
Smithsoniam American Art Museum, 1661 Pennsylvania Avenue NW at 17th Street Washington, DC 20006, United States

April 1, 2010: Preview and reception at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC, for the exhibition Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Remembering the Running Fence.  The 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. The film chronicles the unpredictable and ever-changing path that led to the completion of Running Fence. Janet Maslin, writing in the New York Times, described the film "Running Fence" as "the next best thing to having been there." A new film, Revisiting the Running Fence, co-produced by the museum and Wolfram Hissen from EstWest Films, recaptures the excitement that still vividly lives in the collective memory of the people who experienced the Running Fence, thirty-three years later.
