New York - The artist Christo, who also covered the Reichstag building in Berlin 25 years ago, is dead. He died in New York at the age of 84, as was announced on his website and confirmed his office on Sunday evening to the German Press Agency.
Among the most famous of his projects realized worldwide were the saffron-colored gates in New York's Central Park ("The Gates"), the floating, nylon-covered footbridges on the water of Lake Iseo in Lombardy ("Floating Piers") and the one covered in 1995 Berlin Reichstag and the packed Pont Neuf in Paris.
