Christopher Lehmpfuhl Exhibition: “BAU X KUNST” (CONSTRUCTION X ART)

For ten years now, Berlin’s Plein Air painter Christopher Lehmpfuhl has documented events on one of the German capital’s most spectacular building sites: the Humboldt Forum on Schlossplatz opposite Bertelsmann Unter den Linden 1. In late October 2018, Bertelsmann and Berlin’s Projektgesellschaft U5 showed 37 works from this cycle at “BAU X KUNST” (Construction Meets Art) in the huge subway construction site “Unter den Linden”.

During the two "Open Construction Site Days," Bertelsmann and the U5 project company showed pictures by the Berlin-based plein air painter Christopher Lehmpfuhl at the future Unter den Linden subway station. Below you will find pictures of the set-up process, the ceremonial opening of the exhibition, and the throngs of Berliners who were equally interested in the art and the large-scale construction site itself.
