1 Keith Haring Untitled (The Boxers) Eichhornstr.	Daimler-Benz, now Daimler, chose eight artists and acquired one of their existing sculptures, or commissioned a new one. The artists were Keith Haring, Jeff Koons, François Morellet, Nam June Paik, Robert Rauschenberg, Mark di Suvero and Jean Tinguely. The new works were realized from September 1997 onwards. All the artists involved have developed their own strategies for addressing the current relationship between art and urban space, over decades in some cases. And they were each determined to add a new dimension to the city that was in tune with the times: treating the "city as a space that tells stories". Their work is to be found in public places all over the Western world. They use art as a way of talking to people, making an almost Utopian attempt to turn reality into art while losing as little as possible in the process.   Guided Tour: "Art and architecture on Potsdamer Platz": on request	Daimler Contemporary Alte Potsdamer Str.
