The record
Three sections from near Checkpoint Charlie, dedicated in 1992 and oriented as they stood in Berlin — graffiti west, whitewash east. Not open to the public.
Three sections dedicated on 18 December 1992 beside the south-west entrance to the Original Headquarters Building. The installation is unusually thoughtful about its own object: the segments are oriented as they stood in Berlin — graffiti west, whitewash east — and they are set across the path from the car park to the entrance, so staff must go around them. Bench-height walls on both sides invite people to sit. The Wall keeps its function as well as its form. The site is not open to the public.

Taken from the Wall near Checkpoint Charlie at Potsdamer Platz in November 1989.
