  • THIERRY NOIR Howard Griffin Gallery Los Angeles October 2014 to December 2014
    THE LA RETROSPECTIVE: THIERRY NOIR Howard Griffin Gallery Los Angeles October 2014 to December 2014 From 11th October 2014, Howard Griffin Gallery Los Angeles presents a retrospective of the life and work of infamous Berlin Wall artist Thierry Noir. In 1984, Noir was the first artist to illegally paint mile upon mile of the Berlin Wall. Noir wanted to perform one real revolutionary act: to paint the Wall, to transform it, to make it ridiculous, and ultimately to help destroy it. Noir’s iconic, bright and seemingly innocent works painted on this deadly border symbolised a sole act of defiance and a lone voice of freedom. In this landmark exhibition for Howard Griffin Gallery in Los Angeles, the artist’s first US solo exhibition, original works will be exhibited alongside rarely seen photographs, interviews and films, juxtaposing old and new to reassess Noir’s enduring legacy and contribution to society. The event also marks another first as the inaugural Los Angeles exhibition for Howard Griffin Gallery. A number of artists, musicians and free thinkers settled in West Berlin during the 1980s despite the difficulties of the time. Within a group which included David Bowie and Iggy Pop, was a rebellious young French artist called Thierry Noir. Thierry Noir was born in 1958 in and his monsters are a metaphor for the wall itself, Lyon, France and moved to Berlin in 1982 with one each one relating to his experiences or feelings of what suitcase.

  • Berlin Wall Mural 1986 ———— Paint on Wall, 91.44 Metres ————
    LOST Theme Keith Haring 1958–1990 ART Transient Berlin Wall Mural 1986 ———— Paint on wall, 91.44 metres ———— Berlin Wall Between 1949 and 1961 approximately 3.5 million people, or twenty per cent of the population, escaped from East Germany to the West. Most slipped through the border controls in Berlin, then a divided city controlled by four occupying powers (America, Britain, France and Russia). Concerned at the rising numbers of defectors and the effects on the economy and the image of the communist regime, the East German government erected in 1961 first a barbed wire fence and then a concrete wall with watch towers and anti-vehicle trenches. Called by the East German authorities the ‘Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart’ (with the implication that West Germany had not been fully de-Nazified), and described occasionally by the West Berlin city government as the ‘Wall of Shame’ (because of its prevention of movement, and consequent separation, of friends and families), the Berlin Wall became a potent symbol of the Iron Curtain separating East and West Europe. Some East Germans continued to try to escape over the wall but generally failed: between one and two hundred people were killed in the attempt, or used the wall as a place to commit suicide, from 1961 to 1989. Checkpoint Charlie – or, officially, Checkpoint C – was one of the more visible controlled border crossings between East and West Berlin. Featured in a number of classic spy films and books, it became something of a tourist attraction for visitors to West Berlin. As the years passed, artists and graffitists painted on the western side of the wall, notwithstanding the dangers of antagonising the East German soldiers guarding it (the wall stood a couple of metres inside the East German border).

This paper discusses aspects of the conservation treatment and management plan for these painted segments of the Berlin Wall. The strategy and criteria for the conservation program were defined by a multidisciplinary team that comprised conservators, concrete specialists, and engineers; the deliberations of this team also led to an appropriate treatment and management plan.
