For many people modern art is a mystery and difficult to understand: abstract paintings: sharks in glass boxes and enormous steel angels. What do these works mean? Are they really art?

One modern artist is different. Most people understand and enjoy his work. He is the American artist Christo. He wraps buildings and geographical features in fabric. One of his most famous works is the Reichstag in Berlin. He wrapped it in white fabric for fourteen days in 1995.
