Christo and Jeanne-Claude book. Wrapped Reichstag, Berlin, 1971–1995 - Taschen

One of the most exciting artistic events of all time. After years of artistic and political debate and 24 years of preparation, Christo and Jeanne-Claude wrapped the Berlin Reichstag in material covering over 100,000 square meters, attracting attention and five million visitors to the German capital. Developed by the artists themselves, this is the ultimate guide to one of the most significant cultural events of the 20th century.
