The artwork, titled “Berlin Mural,” was created by the esteemed artist Keith Haring in 1986. It is part of the Street Art and Pop Art movements and belongs to the graffiti genre.
The artwork features a section of the Berlin Wall, adorned with Haring’s signature bold, colorful figures and abstract forms. The mural’s continuous flow of interconnected shapes—comprising human-like and abstract entities—stretches across the length of the wall, vividly rendered in contrasting black and red lines on a bright yellow background. The visual vibrancy and dynamism of the piece serve as a political statement, transforming the oppressive structure of the Berlin Wall into a canvas of expressive artistic defiance. The linear and rhythmic patterning reflects Haring’s distinct style, emphasizing both unity and movement, symbolizing a sense of interconnectedness and resistance.
