The incident motivated EVG regular Lola Sáenz to clean up the plaque. She made some progress, though she realized it would need to be professionally buffed out.
Today, photographer-artist Adrian Wilson (via @plannedalism) was able to restore the plaque and make it legible once more here between the Bowery and Lafayette... 
Earlier this summer, Angelina Jolie announced a new venture, Atelier Jolie — "a creative collective for self-expression" — opening in November inside the space.
Vogue dropped a feature on Jolie and her new project earlier today.

Thanks for doing the prep, Lola 🤝
I thought this pink artwork was wonderful, something akin to the Rauschenberg "White Paintings" (1951), considered some of the most radical and thought provoking expressions of what constitutes art in the 20th century. But I guess ultimately this 21st century statement didn't pass the "what is art" test.
