Description: This is the weekly electronic publication of the Los Angeles Review of Books. Yi discusses the difficulties of the East Side Gallery to preserve the existing graffiti art on the Berlin Wall. Some artists are painting over other artists’ works to create new works on the wall without permission. The article is a good history of the East Side Gallery, which began in January 1990 following the fall of the Wall in November 1989. It also discusses the gentrification pressures on the outdoor gallery’s riverfront property, which is becoming increasing desirable real estate.
