Haven’t seen it in person,
ReplyDeleteBut from this photo
seems it would look pretty cool if it was left just like this.
This is starting to look incredible ❤️
ReplyDeleteLooks incredibly boring. I'd much rather have a mural of the great Peter Max who recently passed. Superbly talented, possibly the first peace and love artist whose humanist message unfortunately was never fully realized.
ReplyDeleteAll true. He was extremely influential too.
DeleteYes Peter Max was a great artist and his art was part of the '60's counterculture but he never lived in the East Village..
ReplyDeleteJoe Strummer never lived in the EV either. But in fact the Peter Max day-go cosmic aesthetic was the defining influence on the Hippie EV movement in the 1960s, LBP. (Life Before Punk). Besides which promoting Basquiat , the Starbucks of contemporary art, does nothing but increase the value of the millionaires and billionaires who own his work.
