Synopsis
Wrapping historic structures in silvery fabric and blue cable - a famous tradition for Christo and Jeanne-Claude In the summer of 1995, the Reichstag building in Berlin was transformed into an immense sculptural experience by Christo and his wife Jeanne-Claude along with a team of hundreds. Wrapping historic structures in silvery fabric and blue cable has become a famous tradition for Christo and Jeanne-Claude: landscape projects in the USA, Japan, and Australia and urban projects such as the Pont Neuf in Paris have established them as the most extraordinary artist couple of the age. This in-depth survey of their unusual work is illustrated with absorbing photographs by Wolfgang Volz.

Review
"Nobody discusses a painting before it has been painted. Our projects are discussed and argued about, pro and con, before they are realized." - Christo"
About the Author
Christo and Jeanne-Claude (both b. June 13, 1935) have worked in collaboration since 1961, and lived in New York City since 1964.

Wolfgang Volz has worked with Christo and Jeanne-Claude as the exclusive photographer of their works since 1971. He was also project director (with Roland Specker) for Wrapped Reichstag and (with Josy Kraft) for Wrapped Trees, and was in charge of The Wall, 13,000 Oil Barrels, 1999. His close collaboration has resulted in many books and more than 300 exhibitions in museums and galleries around the world. He lives and works in Dusseldorf and Stockholm. Paul Goldberger is the Pulitzer Prize-winning architecture critic of The New Yorker, where since 1997 he has written the "Sky Line" column, and the author of several books, most recently Up From Zero (2004).
