Kurt schwitter was chosen to create a new wall in1947. In july 1947 he started the wall and six months later he died. He managed to compleat one part of the wall in this time.
I think its unusual, not something youd see now. But i think that other artists have taken insparation from this wall and used similar shapes that are used in the wall in other artworks. I find it intresting that the colours have stayed in the wall over the years since 1947 and they have not changed. I also like the way he has manipulated the materials in such a way that he has created different levels and protrusions in the wall tht just adds character to the whole piece.
The way they've built the wall is like who they build them now withbrick but with stones. Then it looks like theyve used cement over the out side of the wall which is where he started to add mettals, shapes and colours.
