I was angry about a friend, who described Essen as a real desert of art and wondered about those preconception; unbraked by any expertise. I recommended him to open his eyes and look around. There is art in public space in Essen! Not that spectacular and well published as in Berlin or Hamburg, but we have murals too. I claimed to be able to give him 10 murals off the cuff and offer evidence by photo. The longer I was engaged with this theme, the more I found in my wealth of images, I have shot in the last years. In this context it might be useful to note, that all those murals are still to be seen at the described positions. And here they are – 10 more!
