Signed Christo, 'Wrapped Reichstag Project for Berlin'. Mixed Media Collage, circa 1994
Christo & Jeanne-Claude 'Wrapped Reichstag - Project for Berlin', an environmental art installation by Christo (1935-2020) and Jeanne-Claude (1935-2009), completed in 1995. Mixed media collage, circa 1994, comprised of a lithograph of the wrapped reichstag, a piece of the fabric used in the installation, and a small map showing the location of the building along the spree river in germany. Gouache embellished. Signed in crayon lower left, 'Christo'.

After a struggle spanning the seventies, eighties and nineties, the wrapping of the reichstag was completed on june 24, 1995 by a work force of 90 professional climbers and 120 installation workers. The Reichstag remained wrapped for 14 days and all materials were recycled. 100,000 square meters (1,076,390 square feet) of thick woven polypropylene fabric with an aluminum surface and 9.7 miles of blue polypropylene rope were used for the wrapping of the reichstag. The façades, the towers and the roof were covered by 70 tailor-made fabric panels, twice as much fabric as the surface of the building. The work of art was entirely financed by the artists, as have all their projects, through the sale of preparatory studies, drawings, collages, scale models as well as early works and original lithographs.
