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
section, 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
