With certificate by the artist
'Running Fence' is only one of the many massive, delicate, beautiful and vast works of art created by Christo from 1958 on that, for the moment, defy all description. They are monumental and at the same time appear to be delicate and evanescent. Although they are made with materials from our technological age - metals and plastics - and require a considerable creative and intuitive technical effort on the part of the artist and the professionals who work with him, they are refined and seemingly inevitable intruders in the 'real' world. ("Christo" Vaizey Marina, Ed. Albin Michel, Paris 1990, page 7)
