This large two-part drawing, or diptych, is related to the monumental public project known as <em>Running Fence</em>, staged by the collaborative team of Christo and Jeanne-Claude in the summer of 1976. One of the couple’s earliest projects, <em>Running Fence</em> consisted of 24½ miles of heavy woven nylon fabric hung from steel cables that were laid out across the California landscape, eventually dropping into the Pacific Ocean. Having grown up in Bulgaria behind the Iron Curtain, Christo was suspicious of state-sponsored artworks, so he created large drawings, such as this one, that he could sell to fund his ambitious land artworks. In this work, he juxtaposes an objective trace of the fence’s path—a surveyor’s map—with a pastel drawing that hints at the spirit and sublime beauty of the undertaking.

Description
describe the object
This two part drawing of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s earth art project, <em>Running Fence</em>, includes an original charcoal and pastel drawing by Christo Javacheff and a remnant of engineering documents used to map and guide the creation of the art project. The two cut pieces of a surveyor’s map are placed above the drawing. These documents overlap slightly at the lower right diagonal edge and upper left corner. The drawing depicts the white nylon fence running along the rocky terrain of the California coast before it descends into the Pacific Ocean. This image shows part A, at the top, and part B on the bottom.
