WRAPPED REICHSTAG BERLIN 1971 1995

CLAUDE, CHRISTO AND JEANNE

for 14 days in the summer of 1995, christo and jeanne-claude's wrapped reichstag transformed the german parliament building into a sumptuous flow of silvery fabric. it was the completion of a 24-year-long artistic process, as much a tale of tenacity as of technical and imaginative genius. through original documents, photographs, drawings, collages, and real objects from the wrapping, this book traces the full story of this major cultural event, one of christo and jeanne-claude's most ambitious projects, and a symbol-laden occasion in the emergence of unified germany.
