US-Bulgarian artist Christo (R) during a press-visit in his installation “Big Air Package” on March 14, 2013 at the Oberhausen Casle in Oberhausen, western Germany. 18 years after the wrapping of the Reichstag and 14 years after the installation “The Wall” as the finale of the Emscher Park International Building Exhibition, Christo is returning to Germany with a further art project: From March 16 to December 30, 2013, Christo will fill the Oberhausen Gasometer with his Big Air Package. The artwork is the largest ever inflated frameless envelope and the largest indoor sculpture ever made. (Photo by Martin Meissner/AP Photo)
