The record
Thirty works painted on original Wall sections, shown in the open air around the Mardasson Memorial beside the Bastogne War Museum from April 2019 to January 2020.
In its programme of events for the 75th anniversary, the Bastogne War Museum announced the open-air exhibition 'Art Liberty. From the Berlin Wall to Street Art', from 15 April 2019 to 5 January 2020. Displayed around the Mardasson Memorial, near the museum, it paid tribute to the forerunners of street art, each of whom used one of the Wall's original sections: thirty works on sections of the Berlin Wall from Berlin's no man's land.
It was the travelling show of the collector Sylvestre Verger, whose thirty fragments, repainted by street artists, had been shown under the French form of the same title, 'Art Liberté', at the Gare de l'Est in Paris in 2015; that display has its own page. The title and the thirty sections match, though neither source says in so many words that the pieces were the same. The exhibition closed in January 2020, and where the sections went next is not recorded in anything read.
