Monday's parting shot

Here's a 5 p.m. look at the SW corner of Avenue A and Ninth Street... where two workers have been painting the building. 

One of the workers today confirmed they would be painting over the 13-year-old mural by UK street artist STIK titled "Liberty."

Today, they focused primarily on the cornice atop the north-facing wall. 

We're told there has been some dialogue with the landlord, although it's unclear what, if anything, might transpire. TBD. 

The mural arrived in September 2013... a gift from the former Dorian Grey Gallery on Ninth Street... the work was to honor the history of Tompkins Square Park.
