[Leica] IMG: (East) Berlin

[Howard L Ritter Jr]

Thanks for the tour, Nathan. It’ll help me plan my own visit this fall when I’m planning to attend a Goethe-Institut language course in Berlin. Sheepish to admit that in three years of living in Wiesbaden 35 years ago, my wife and I never did get even to West Berlin. It’s time!

While parts are getting expensive and gentrified, it is still far cheaper to be a young artist here than in any other major city in Europe or North America. I attended a conference there in late June, with ample time to walk around and take in the city. As is often the case, looking at art was a major part of the walk. The highlights were the magnificent Jewish Museum designed by Libeskind, the Berlin Gallery of Modern Art, and the street art near the Warschauer Strasse metro station. A gallery of 69 images is here:
