Berliner Mauer

In 1976 East German Border Troops begun to build a new type of Wall in Berlin. This concrete Wall was 3.60 meters (11.81 ft) high and painted white/gray. Painting on the territory of East Berlin was strictly forbidden, many artists had already begun to paint on the Western side of the Wall at the start of the 80s.

Artists like Thierry Noir and Keith Haring discovered the Berlin Wall as the world's longest canvas which had to be painted. Many known and unknown artists painted on the Wall in the following years and the paintings were often painted over within hours or days. Thierry Noir – East Side Gallery

Keith Haring

In the beginning, the Wall art was not protected; everybody could paint on the Wall. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 the Eastern side of the Wall was also painted by artists. Today only a few painted sections of the Eastern side of the former Berlin Wall still exist at: Potsdamer Platz East Side Gallery at Mühlenstraße Wall Park at Bernauer Straße tsidegallery.htm tsidegallery.htm
