The flag project was created as part of the European Capital of Culture 1988, for which Berlin was awarded the contract. The plan was for 10 internationally renowned artists to design flags to be placed in front of the Reichstag to represent Berlin as the European Capital of Culture. The project was delayed for technical reasons and was never realized due to the fall of the Berlin Wall. Only the flags by Roy Lichtenstein and James Rosenquist were realized.
