Summary:

"In 1950, the parliaments of East and West Germany decided to make the participation of visual artists obligatory n state building measures, both at home and abroad. In the following 70 years, an enormous number of artworks have been produced in this way. They exist in the field of tension between politics, society, architecture and urban planning. This anniversary publication presents selected artworks that reflect the diversity of engagement with the state's different institutions and their tasks. The period spans from the foundation and development of the two German states to the country's reunification and on the present day. The volume also provides insight into specific aspects of the pieces' production, their maintenance and their preservation. Art in architecture is an important element of building culture. It inspires consideration and reflection, takes a stance and is a national calling card for the cultural nation of Germany."--Page 4 of cover.
