En 1961, trois ans après avoir rencontré Jeanne-Claude à Paris, Christo dessinait un projet pharaonique qui envelopperait un des monuments les plus emblématiques de la ville. 60 années, 25.000 mètres carrés de toile recyclable et 3.000 mètres de corde plus tard, la vision des deux artistes devient enfin réalité.

Fabric monuments In the summer of 1995, the Reichstag building in Berlin was transformed into an immense sculptural experience by Christo and Jeanne-Claude along with a team of hundreds of workers.

This in-depth survey of their unusual work is illustrated with absorbing photographs by Wolfgang Volz. About the Each book in TASCHEN’s Basic Art series
