De todos los proyectos del artista land art, sin duda el del Reichstag fue el más emblemático de los realizados.

The extravagant installation "The Umbrellas, Japan-USA, 1984-91", mounted by Christo and Jeanne Claude simultaneously in California and Ibaraki (Japan), consisted of the placement of more than 3100 yellow and blue umbrellas in these territories. The colours of the umbrellas were chosen to complement the landscape where they were installed: the yellow was to accentuate the amber grass in the hills of southern California and the blue alluded to the waters of the Japanese rivers. However, the project was cut short prematurely when two people died accidentally: a woman who died after an umbrella closed on her and a man who suffered an electric shock while dismantling one of the umbrellas.
A well-known artistic couple of the late 20th century, Christo and Jeanne-Claude's wrapped objects are some of the most extreme examples of modern conceptual art. Christo Valdimirov Javacheff, the primary artist and designer of the duo's projects, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Sofia between 1952 and 1956, before spending a year in Prague. In 1957 Christo fled the socialist state and settled in Vienna, from where he travelled to Geneva and finally to Paris, settling in the French capital. His life in Paris was characterised by economic deprivation and social isolation, which was exacerbated by his difficulty in learning French. He earned money by painting portraits, which he likened to prostitution. Visiting the city's galleries and museums, he was inspired by the work of Joan Miró, Nicholas de Stael, Jackson Pollock, Jean Tinguely and, above all, Jean Dubuffet. In January 1958, Christo made his first piece of "wrapped art"; he covered an empty paint jar with a canvas soaked in acrylic. He tied it up and coloured it with glue, sand and car paint. Christo and Jeanne-Claude met in Paris in November 1958, when he was commissioned to paint a portrait of her mother. Although Jeanne-Claude married another man, she became pregnant by Christo and left her husband after their honeymoon. Despite opposition from Jeanne-Claude's family, the couple married in 1962. By 1959, Christo had changed his approach to wrapped objects. Instead of embellishing the wrapping material with glue and sand, he kept it intact. The following year, he stopped painting altogether and completed his "Inventory" series. In 1961 he tackled what was to be his first project with large objects, wrapping barrels in the German port of Cologne. In 1962, as a couple, Christo and Jeanne-Claude tackled their first monumental project, "Rideau de fer" ("Steel Curtain"), as a statement against the Berlin Wall. The work consisted of blocking off Visconti Street over the river with oil barrels. Although Christo was simultaneously holding his first gallery exhibition, it was the Visconti project that made him known in Paris. In 1964 the couple settled in New York, and continued to carry out projects and exhibitions both in the United States and in Europe. In 1968 they participated in Documenta 4 in Kassel, and in 1969 they undertook one of their most famous projects, the wrapping of the Little Bay waterfront in Sydney, Australia. Since then, Christo and Jeanne-Claude have completed numerous large-scale projects all over the world, including "Running fence" and "Wrapped walk ways" in the United States, "Pont Neuf" in Paris, "Umbrellas" simultaneously in the United States and Japan, and the Reichstag building in Germany. His most recent work was "The Gates" (2005), which consisted of the installation of seven thousand five hundred metal frames in the Central
