Nouveau Réalisme – Eines von 150 Exemplaren. Aus Mappe I. Ein Mappenwerk mit vier Fotografien des verhüllten Reichstags von Wolfganz Volz. - Der verhüllte Reichstag (24. Juni - 7. Juli 1995) zählt zu den ikonischen Großprojekten von Christo und Jeanne-Claude, bei dem das Gebäude durch silbernen Stoff und blaue Seile in ein temporäres, skulpturales Objekt verwandelt wurde.

Splendid print with vivid colours. - One of 150 copies. From Portfolio I. A portfolio with four photographs of the wrapped Reichstag by Wolfgang Volz. - The Wrapped Reichstag (24 June - 7 July 1995) is one of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's iconic large-scale projects, in which the building was transformed into a temporary sculptural object using silver fabric and blue ropes.
