In 1950, the obligatory participation of visual artists in state building measures was decreed in the German Bundestag as well as in the parliament of the GDR. Over a period of 70 years, numerous artworks that reflected the politics, society, and architecture of the state were created. This title sheds light on the significance and potentials of building-related art for state authorities and institutions, research institutes, military facilities, and German representation around the world.
