Photographs of the Berlin Wall from 1989 by Greg Girard (12 pictures)

These photographs were made on Greg’s first trip to Berlin in Oct 1989. He has seen photographs of the Berlin Wall, but he wanted to make his own pictures of it, preferably at night. For decades the wall had been a feature of the Berlin landscape, but for a visitor it was breathtaking to experience first hand the ultimate symbol and full reality of that divided city.

Amazing street art masterpieces (41 pictures)

Street art can include traditional graffiti artwork, sculpture, stencil graffiti, sticker art, wheatpasting and street poster art, video projection, art intervention, guerrilla art, and street installations. Artists have challenged art by situating it in non-art contexts. ‘Street’ artists do not aspire to change the definition of an artwork, but rather to question the existing environment with its own language. They attempt to have their work communicate with everyday people about socially relevant themes in ways that are informed by esthetic values without being imprisoned by them.
