Large landscape photograph documenting Running Fence, the monumental environmental artwork created by Christo and Jeanne-Claude in Sonoma and Marin Counties, California in 1976. The image captures the sweeping white fabric fence as it winds across rolling hills and farmland, emphasizing the dramatic scale and fluid movement of the temporary installation as it interacts with the surrounding landscape. The composition highlights the contrast between the sculptural fabric barrier and the natural countryside, presenting a striking visual record of one of the most important land art projects of the 20th century. Signed and presented in a black frame.

Dimensions: H: 29 in W: 43 in
