| This is one of my favorite street paintings from the early Eighties. It appeared overnight in a parking lot, that I remember as being at Mott and Houston Streets. I returned the next day to try to get better photos of it, but alas it was gone. That dirty tarred wall on the east side of the lot, had previously only shown ugly mindless tagging and was left unmolested by any maintenance paint for years. You can detect remnants of what it looked like behind this painting. But of course the owners painted over this amazing artistic outburst almost as soon as it appeared. It may be a jam of two artists, basing that purely on what seems like two distinct styles of brush. I’d welcome any information that anyone has on this piece. Click to see full image. |
