At the back of the book is a sample of the actual fabric used to wrap the Reichstag. Original publisher's silver cloth author and title on spine; preserved in the original publisher’s slipcase as well as the original shipping box. Number 4317 of 5000 copies signed by Christo Jeanne-Claude and Wolfgang Volz the photographer. This book is a special presentation copy signed to Norm Applebaum and dated April 14 1997. First edition of this complete chronology of the wrapping of the Reichstag in Berlin. The environmental project first conceived of in 1971 was completed in June 1995. The Reichstag was the original home of the Imperial Diet of the German empire opened in 1894. After three rejections Christo and Jeanne-Claude were finally granted permits to wrap the building in 100000 square meters of silver fabric in 1994 and completed the draping of the building the following year. The project suffered numerous setbacks including inclement weather and huge cost increases. The project was finally completed on June 24 and remained open for 14 days. Christo described the Reichstag wrapping as autobiographical based on his Bulgarian upbringing. The wrapping became symbolic of unified Germany; the formal unification ceremony was held there in October 1990. The project truly marked Berlin's return as a world city. The process of the entire project documented with Volz’ pragmatic and insightful photographs is detailed throughout this wonderful book. Christo who passed away in May of this year at 84 was a Bulgarian-born conceptual artist who turned to epic-scale environmental works around the world. He is best known for wrapping everything from buildings to bridges islands and gates around the world in various types of fabric. Along with his wife Jeanne-Claude who passed away in 2009 they worked with hundreds of people on each project and paid for everything out of their own pocket mostly from the sale of artwork related to a specific project. Norm Applebaum who passed away in March of this year 2020 was a celebrated architect winner of the Robert Mosher Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018. He is best known for his modernist designs of single-family homes the “quintessential California home.”. Benedikt Taschen Verlag GmbH unknown books
