Wooden sign with butterfly made of rubble found in the ruins of Berlin; verso: typed page affixed with explanation: in the summer of 1945 a small group of friends, painters and designers and decided to create something out of the ruins. The light blue came from tiles of a delicatessen store on Potsdamer Platz and the red brown came from bricks of an old building on Wilhelmstrasse.
