Museum Store in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, United States | Store

Welcome to the Museum Store at Charles M. Shulz Museum, Santa Rosa, California, United States. Charles Schulz was not so much an instant advocate of the Running Fence project in Sonoma County as he was puzzled by the heated "chicken little" rhetoric opposing the idea. It was 1975, I believe, when we listened to an overflow crowd argue before the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors. As always, Christo and Jeanne-Claude were calm and seemed almost oblivious to the furor created by their proposal. Weeks later, we were fortunate to meet Christo and Jeanne-Claude in a smaller setting where they discussed this project and showed a video of their Valley Curtain project in Rifle Gap, Colorado.
In September 1976, Schulz (Sparky) flew over the length of Running Fence with his son, Craig, and viewed an unforgettable image of our golden Sonoma County hills and the coastline as the fence dipped into the Pacific.
As art follows life, Christo's project became the subject of a Peanuts comic strip on November 20, 1978. The circle was completed in October 2003, when Christo and Jeanne Claude unveiled a 3-D version of the last panel of the 1978 comic strip.
The Museum Store, Santa Rosa, California, offers in partnership with Jeannie Shulz and Landfall Press, Christo, and Jeanne-Claude in offering this signed, numbered, limited-edition, hand-collaged lithograph of Wrapped Snoopy House-Project for the Charles M. Schulz Museum, which celebrates this unique 25-year friendship.
