The record
One segment carrying a 1985 Kiddy Citny crowned heart, from the Waldemarstraße stretch.
The Frontier's segment carries one of the two famous hearts, and shares an origin stretch with the New York pieces. It is also a direct link to the Noir–Citny litigation over reproduction described in docs/research/dispersal.md.
The Research Triangle Foundation records that it was installed in the atrium in early 2015 on loan from Gordon Smith.
How did it get here?
From Waldemarstraße in Kreuzberg, painted by Kiddy Citny in 1985. Lent in 2015 by Gordon Smith, who had bought it in 1990.
