This issue’s Microsoft Art Collection exhibition focuses on just one work, but what an extraordinary work it is. It's a 12-foot-high, 4-foot-wide, 3.5-ton section of the Berlin Wall, a gift to Microsoft from Daimler-Benz AG of Germany.

The Wall artsection, covered on its East and West sides with intriguing, colorful graffiti art, was unveiled during a ceremony at the Microsoft corporate campus on August 15, 1996. Click below to join us for a look at this work and the cultural and political context from which it came.
