Monday, the art world lost one of the greats—legendary installation artist Christo, famous for his joyful, perspective-shifting artworks created in collaboration with his late wife, Jeanne-Claude.

Christo was best known for his large-scale landmark coverings with fabric and other materials. He and Jeanne-Claude created for the aesthetic and visual impact—their art was physically temporary, but created a lasting impression on their audience, drawing millions to view the installations.

In 1995, Christo and his team, aided by 100 rock climbers, covered the Berlin Reichstag, only after surmounting more than 20 years of hurdles and preparations—negotiating with six presidents, parliament and through three government refusals.

On assignment for National Geographic in Berlin in 1995, I was stunned by the droves of people who surrounded and constantly partied around the covered Reichstag. The aluminum fabric only remained for fourteen days, but drew thousands to the building, becoming a backdrop of life in the heart of Berlin.
