eBay seller dares people to bid on piece of Shepard Fairey's mural

More pieces from Shepard Fairey's "May Day" mural from Houston and the Bowery are turning up on eBay...



Per the seller:

Up for auction is a piece of a wall, I mean crap, I mean "ART" from Houston St. x Bowery St. in New York City. This is a portion of a Shepard Fairey wheat paste "STREET ART" wall that people kicked in and wrote all over because no one [in] New York City respected this. I saw that someone else listed another piece of the wall starting at $100 and there were actually some bids. This truly disgusted me. Therefore, I will be listing this piece at one cent to show that this is a worthless piece of crap. If people do happen to bid on this, it will show that I was wrong and he is actually a respectable arti$t. (Shepard Fairey fans please feel free to bid) I will then be happy getting the benefit for his so-called "ART."

If you win this auction, I will careully pack and deliver this piece in a zip lock bag so that it looks important.

Thanks for your time and good luck bidding... or not (Either way, I win.)

What a piece of Shepard Fairey's vandalized Deitch Wall mural is going for on eBay

As you'll recall, vandals took to the Shepard Fairey mural on Houston and the Bowery last summer... Now a tipster passes along an item up for grabs on eBay: A genuine piece of the wall... And $100 for the starting bid!




Wonder how much more of the wall will turn up now... there are plenty of pieces to sell...

Your daily Deitch Wall update




The Lo-Down ... BoweryBoogie... and AnimalNY have more on the mural... Animal's Bucky Turco asked Kenny Scharf if he thought any graffiti writers might tag the new work here: "No, I’m not Shepard Fairey. Not to knock him or anything, but I’m not putting up wallpaper made safely in a studio.”
