Graffiti Artists in a new line of Work

Graffiti Artists, Kings of Walls, Now Dress Windows. Several graffiti artists have been recruited to create  graffiti based paintings as a backdrop to Lord & Taylor’s windows along Fifth Avenue, following in the footsteps of other artists like Red Grooms and Larry Rivers whose work has appeared at the flagship store.


This happened last year. I hope they do it again.

The Berlin Wall

Not only was it a massive wall, The Berlin Wall was also one of the major graffiti / street art venues of Europe if not the world. Yes it is good that the wall is down, but did so much great art 9much of it political) need to be destroyed? For the nilhillist in you, you can recreate the destruction at http://www.fallberlinwall.com/ where through texting you can knock down the wall yet again.
