Berliner Mauer, 11.11.1989. 1989. Vintage gelatin silver print. 28,5 x 41 cm (39,8 x 49,8 cm). Signed, titled, and dated in pencil below the image on recto; signed, titled, dated, and editioned in pencil, with photographer’s copyright stamp on the verso.

Taken just two days after the fall of the Berlin Wall, this photograph captures the charged atmosphere of hope and uncertainty as East German border guards stand watch above crowds of jubilant Berliners gathered at the Brandenburg Gate - transforming a former symbol of division into a stage for reunification. – Some buckling and a few small tears along the margins of the print; a few pressure marks and surface irregularities; otherwise in very good condition.
