Running Fence by Christo and Jeanne-Claude[/caption]On September 10th in 1976, exactly thirty-six years ago today, the married artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude completed a 24.5 mile long art project called Running Fence. It project was installed in the hills of Sonoma in Marin County, California. The 18-foot (5.5 m) high fence was composed of 2,050 panels of white nylon fabric hung from steel cables by means of 350,000 hooks. The cables were supported by 2,050 steel poles stuck into the ground and braced by steel guy wires anchored to the earth. It was removed by the builders 14 days after completion, leaving no visible trace.
