JR's neglected 'Gun Chronicles' on the Bowery Mural Wall



JR's powerful "Gun Chronicles" mural at the Bowery Mural Wall is looking neglected, as these photos by Lola Sāenz show...



The panels are peeling ... and it has been tagged multiple times of late (not including the addition of the 11 and Xll)...





JR's mural features images of 245 Americans who represent various viewpoints on the gun debate. The artist collaborated with Time magazine back in late October for this interactive special report on gun violence in America.

    It is a shame of the condition this mural has fallen to. This was an important mural with an important message that should have been maintained and protected. Instead of being marked up with graffiti that has covered up important parts of the mural.
