Reader mailbag: Uncovering the location of this Keith Haring snapshot

An EVG reader is trying to identify the location of the above photo from the winter of 1988 with Keith Haring and Piergiorgio Castellani. 

Said Castellani, who comes from a family of winemakers, in a 2012 interview: 

We met quite randomly on a sidewalk in the East Village. I was a young student from Pisa, passionate about art, Keith was at the peak of his career and I recognized him immediately and I approached him, I said goodbye and invited him to do something important in Italy. The next day I was in his studio and we started working on the creation of "Tuttomondo." 

And... 

In 1989 the Castellani Family invited Keith Haring to Pisa to realize what would become one of his most important, permanent public works, the monumental mural "Tuttomondo." 

While Castellani said the chance encounter was in the East Village, there's some thought the photo was taken in the West Village.
