Yadegar Asisi, an Iranian-Austrian artist who grew up in East Berlin (how's that for a curriculum vitae?) and is known for his panoramas, has painted his vision of life on both sides of the Berlin Wall during the Cold War. Fittingly, it is on exhibit near Checkpoint Charlie: http://www.bbc.com/travel/blog/20121212-bringing-the-berlin-wall-back-to-life
