Eastern Side Graffiti

Berlin - December 1990

A Usenet poster made a comment that the GDR had no graffiti on its side of the wall.  This was probably true until this exhibition.  I was fortunate enough to be in Berlin and other parts of the 'Eastern Bloc' during the late eighties and early nineties.  These are a few of my photographs of the artwork on display.

My personal favourite, Honiker and Brezhnev

Test the Best - a reaction, perhaps, to the unfavourable reports of the 'Pape' (Trabbie was an English language media name)  and a cigarette advertising campaign ~ Test the West

Apologies for the quality of the pictures, fading light, OR-WOR film, crap operator...

Visa from one of my GDR trips.  Interesting times..
