Christo was the guy who gift wrapped the Reichstag, wasn't he?
My college friends and I were quite pissed, as we had come up with the essentials of that idea in the early '80s.
Actually, our plan involved slipcovering Anderson Hall at West Chester State College ... for which we didn't have enough money, so the plan morphed to painting the building pink ... but we still couldn't afford to rent the helicopters and fire-supression buckets that we were going to fill with paint. Our notion was to come in out of the sun, like the choppers in Apocalypse Now, dump the paint, and beat a hasty retreat, with none the wiser as to our identities.
It's tough being in college on student loans and grants and not being able to do these kinds of things. Actually, it's probably good that we didn't have enough money to do shit like this.
