Christo and Jeanne-Claude were a pair of artists who designed, coordinated, and funded large-scale environmental art installations. Active since the 1960s, Reichstag Wrapped in 1995 was one of their crowning achievements. Christo described the piece, their physical wrapping in the Reichstag building in a fabric made of aluminum-coated propylene, as autobiographical. He related the wrapping to the reunification of Berlin and the importance of that act to Eastern Europeans. The wrapping of the Reichstag building also represented the return of Berlin to center of the art and political world. (Chicago Tribune, 1986). 1410891. Shelved Dupont Bookstore.
