Christo & Jeanne Claude are known for their wrapping actions on buildings and large-scale projects in landscapes, industrial objects or well-known buildings. Together, the artists have planned their projects worldwide since the 1960s. In Germany, the artist couple became popular especially through the wrapping of the Reichstag in Berlin in 1995. Jeanne-Claude and Christo had to work persistently for 23 years until the Reichstag in Berlin was wrapped.
