Kenny Scharf's mural restored


After getting tagged a few days ago, Kenny Scharf's mural at the old Deitch Wall has been cleaned up... from a few minutes ago...


Meanhwile, via Animal NY, famed graffiti photographer Martha Cooper expresses disappointment in what happened to Scharf's work. Writes Cooper at 12ozProphet: "Much as I admire vandals, I feel these perps were mean-spirited and heartless." Be sure to check out the wall here on Houston and the Bowery circa 1983.

    WOW! They must have coated the final version of the painting with something protective which made any future spray-painting impermanent. Fantastic!

    Scharf or a damn talented disciple painted over the tag. It is done in his old illegal quick and dirty style. I am pleased and amazed.
