How did the public's response to the Bild-Zeitung advertisement impact the selection process?

The selection process for Schmidt's portrait highlights the intersection of art, politics, and German reunification. Heisig's selection, despite initial doubts about his style, reflected a desire to bridge the East-West divide and acknowledge his artistic lineage from Kokoschka, who painted Konrad Adenauer. The numerous applications demonstrate significant public interest in the project.
