Frankfurt's Found Street Art

Frankfurt is one of my favourite cities to visit.  Perhaps it is because there are many parrallels to Calgary, both are river cities, both are corporate headquarter cities and both are dominated by modern high rise office buildings.  ​

One of things I discouvered and love about Frankfurt is the wonderful street art that exists everywhere.  In this case it is not ​murals on the walls or public art in the parks and plazas, rather it is the poster stuck on mail boxes or the sides of buildings.  Some of them are layered with other posters, some are torn and weathered with an urban patina that makes them more interesting.  

​I have chosen ten Found Art Works (FAW) for you to enjoy and comment on.  Love to see some of the FAWs from your community. 

Titled "Mask" this mixed-media work is a ​reflection of a poster in a window that creates an intriguing layer of images.  There is a theatrical quality to this artwork, as if we are all part of performance art piece.
