Site of the Day for Thursday, April 24, 2014 Berlin Wall Art Today's site, from American photographer Edward Murray, offers his highly regarded photographic collection of graffiti art from that icon of the Cold War, the Berlin Wall. Gentle Subscribers will find a searing assemblage of the protest art with which West Berliners enveloped their side of the Wall. "The Wall Before the Fall ... [Edward Murray's] Berlin Wall photographs have been highly acclaimed when presented in galleries and lectures and is thought to be the largest unique collection of that storied construction." - from the website Helpfully arranged by geographic location through the introductory map of Berlin, the exhibit presents hundreds of photos detailing the graffiti which appeared on the Wall. Although some are in the nature of straightforward German protest slogans, others, for example, the selection from Reinickendorf II / Map Key 12, display colorful artistic designs. Thumbnails of each group provide an overall view of each Map section, while selecting an individual photo opens a larger image. Increasing the page size with the usual Control + keystroke in most browsers highlights the impact of the art.
