Description from the seller

Art print of the Reichstag wrapping by Christo and Jeanne-Claude from 1994 with original hand signatures

It is a "Wrapped Reichstag" project for Berlin from 1994 and shows the iconic building wrapped, with the Brandenburg Gate in the background. This artwork is a unique reminder of a special event.

* Exact motif size: approx. 27.8 × 21.2 cm
* Sheet size: 40 × 30 cm
* Frame size: 53 x 45.5 cm (frame shows light signs of wear)
* Detailed depiction of the wrapped Reichstag
* Includes sketches and text information about the project
* Blind-emboss printing (embossing) in place of fabric swatches
* Bottom right signed in felt-tip pen with "Christo"

These collages and preliminary drawings were created by Christo to finance the enormous costs of his monumental, temporary large-scale projects entirely self-sufficiently and without sponsors. The actual, world-famous wrapping of the Reichstag building in Berlin took place in the summer of 1995.
