The Reichstag

Christo and Jeanne-Claude rapped the Reichstag on June 23, 1995. You were there seven years later, quietly entering those sober gray walls, the dark and silent witnesses of a century of tumultuous German history. You saw the details. But the two artists took a different approach: by wrapping it, hiding all the details they allow you to focus entirely on the form. This is "revelation through concealment. "
