Running Fence

Year: 1977

Runtime: 58 mins

Language: English

Directors: Albert Maysles, Charlotte Zwerin

Documentary

The second installment in the Maysles brothers’ documentary series on artist Christo surveys his monumental, landscape‑scale installations and his more playful, pop‑style performances. The film probes how the public perceives art that is deliberately oblique and seemingly neutral—such as a fence running through a field—while questioning the relationship between viewers and non‑political public interventions.
