Paul Richard asks that you do not tag Shepard Fairey's mural




Per an EV Grieve reader:

There's a Paul Richard tag on the Fairey mural. It's one of those Paul Richard gallery label tags, a larger one than usual, more a warning size sign. Perhaps located near the earlier hole in the Fairey mural. It says, IIRC, "Please do not graffiti the mural."

No Leviticus posters, yet.

  1. It's illegality and ugliness keeps raising it's ugly head---more known for not legal than anything else.
    Keep the graffiti--that would make it a living piece...an evolving piece...

  4. The more they (mural crew, Fairey, Deitch, etc) fight to remove tags, graf, other art, even holes from this piece, the more they diminish its value and resonance. Each "correction" pushes this piece further into advertisement (deeper than it already is).
