Section of Haring’s mural on the Berlin Wall, 1986. - Keith Haring. And later the same year; already damaged. The wall was of course mostly demolished from 1989. “If it is not regarded as ‘sacred’ and ‘valuable’, then I can paint without inhibition, and experience the interaction of lines and shapes. I can paint spontaneously without worrying if it looks ‘good’; and I can let my movement and my instant reaction/response control the piece, control my energy (if there is any control at all) … It is temporary and its permanency is unimportant. Its existence is already established. It can be made permanent by the camera” - Keith Haring, 1987. -- source link
