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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.â€. Benedikt Taschen Verlag GmbH unknown

The pair are known for large-scale environmental installations. The installations were site-specific meaning the work was designed for the location or landscape; the installations meaning is derived from the relationship between installation and location. First developed in 1976 The Gates debuted in February of 2005 due to the project being rejected by New York City government. The "gates" hold structural similarities to Japanese torii gates upon entering Shinto shrines. The installation consisted of 7503 16-foot-high vinyl gates with orange nylon fabric panels stretching 23 miles of Central Parks walkways. The piece was assembled by thousands of paid workers and remained up for 16 days before removal all materials were then recycled. 1410893. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. Taschen hardcover

196332160Düsseldorf/London 1963. A sharp print with only minor edge-wear; Wilp's studio stamp to verso along with bold manuscript title in black ink. Vintage gelatin silver print 8.5 x 11.5 inches with matte finish. German Pop-adjacent artist Charles Wilp generated some of the most avant-garde European advertising from the 1960s cf. Afri-Cola spots on Youtube while also producing artist's vinyl with the likes of Yves Klein. In 1963 he filmed Christo twice—in both Düsseldorf and London—as the latter continued with his Wrapped Women series which had some of its earliest iterations in Klein's Paris apartment. Rather than wrapping cars or oil barrels or architecture Christo here wrapped the nude female body; a practice that soon lead to some of his most stunning jewelry and fashion designs. The present photograph—rather abstract of the model's torso—most likely issues from the Düsseldorf performance of this work. Düsseldorf/London unknown
