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.
