Four months in the tumultuous short life of the Shepard Fairey mural
As I reported yesterday, workers removed what was left of the Shepard Fairey mural on Houston and the Bowery... (The mural was to remain up until Dec. 31.)
Last night, our friend Bryan Waterman did a little detective work and concluded that the build-out remains over what was here before — the Os Gêmeos art...
So let us go back to the middle of April...
And, sometime during the weekend of April 16, someone removed the Os Gêmeos art...
Then, on April 20, Shepard Fairey arrived to start work...
April 21!
And the next day, the first tag appeared, as reported by Animal New York... graffiti writer NAW tried to add a little something ... which didn't go over well with the security guard on duty...

Per the Graffiti Friend of EV Grieve (GFOEVG) on April 22: "I suspect this piece gets dissed and fixed many times."
The week of April 26, Jeremiah discussed some of the ongoing vandalism issues with on the mural... (You can read those here, here and here.)
Then the kicking began!
Paul Richard added his mark on May 7...
By the week of May 10, cleanup crews were busy removing the tags...
On May 15 — the epic bombing.
Soon, it became a game of tag, clean, tag, clean...
Workers placed a plaque on the scene in June...nearly six weeks after the mural went up...
The holes and tags continued through June...
By the end of June, the mural was falling to pieces... people continued to pick and rip...
July 7
As Jeremiah first reported, workers covered up half the mural on July 9....
On July 12, the dicks arrived.

And so it went...
July 17...
July 18
July 20
July 24...
Aug. 8...
Yesterday, it all came to an end...

Keith Haring reappears on Houston and the Bowery
This arrived sometime Sunday night/Monday morning...Just around the corner from Shepard Fairey's illegal ad... site of the former Haring mural...
Meanwhile, BoweryBoogie notes that the Fairey mural hasn't been tagged in a week... He also offers this: "The street has spoken loud and clear: time to move on and tear down the wall."
