Quote

Construction site with concrete mixer 1958

“The big city of Berlin with the typical phenomena: with hectic, construction, road traffic, tenements, skyscrapers and congress center, with glitter and misery, with abysses and 'Ecbatana', with loneliness behind high walls, with street canyons, rain puddles and the 'pigeon death' the street corner ', became for Stein a metaphor for the transitory, for the course of the world as it is nowadays. "(Renate Franke)
