AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Christo & Jeanne-Claude

Wrapped Reichstag
View from Schiffbauer Damm with reflection

This famous image of the Reichstag wrapped by Christo and Jeanne-Claude in June 1995 shows a photograph of the silver-clad building, taken when the water was calm and reflecting the artwork.

This photograph documents perhaps the “most successful” project by Christo and Jeanne-Claude.
After 24 years of preparation, Christo and Jeanne-Claude were finally able to realize the “Wrapped Reichstag” project in 1995. After the project ended and the materials used were recycled, all that remained were records, memories, photographs, and prints, such as “Christo and Jeanne-Claude Wrapped Reichstag” shown here.

The photograph is mounted with a silver mat, signed and dated on the mat by an unknown photographer (R. Motzke), and framed.
The high-quality photograph is accompanied by a piece of original fabric used at the Reichstag.
