Golden’s personal and professional relationship with the artists began during the 1974 public hearings for Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s project Running Fence. Golden continued to manage and assist with several of the artists’ large-scale projects such as The Umbrellas and Over the River. Drawings and collages of the large-scale public works, sold to fund the actual installations, are an important component of this collection. This collection includes original drawings, sculptures, collages, and photographs capturing the versatility, longevity, and international scope of the duo’s extensive career. As partners for more than 40 years, Christo and Jeanne-Claude have created lasting environmental installation art throughout the world. Their works include the wrapping of the Reichstag in Berlin and the Pont Neuf Bridge in Paris, the 24-mile long curtain titled Running Fence in California, and The Gates in New York City’s Central Park. Because their large-scale public projects are temporary, these preliminary artworks remain as evidence of these installations. This collection represents not only the special relationship between an artist and a collector, but also the collaborative effort between the artists and the many people involved in producing the works. This exhibition was organized by the Sonoma County Museum, Santa Rosa, CA; Exhibition Tour Management by Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles, CA.
