In summer 1995, Christo and Jeanne-Claude's iconic 'Wrapped Reichstag' transformed the German parliament building into an extraordinary piece of ephemeral art, becoming a landmark moment in art history. This audacious project, 23 years in the making, garnered global attention and showcased the couple's passion for large-scale installations. As they would have turned 90 in 2025, cities worldwide commemorate their achievements: Berlin prepares a light installation for the Reichstag, while Paris and New York honor their past projects. The powerful partnership between the duo, highlighted by their equal contributions, continues to inspire new generations of artists.
"Their vision of a wrapped Reichstag was big, bold, and took 23 years to plan. This ephemeral art transformed the historic building into a monumental gift."
"2025 is a special anniversary year as cities worldwide commemorate the couple, celebrating their legacy through light installations and partnerships with communities to share their vision."
