Graffiti New York City

November 5, 2009November 29, 2010

I have always had admiration for graffiti artists, especially for the lettering and typography style more than the cartoon & drawing type.

There is an amazing exhibition at the Cartier Fondation in Paris based on the work of Evan Roth (check his website he always have great art project going on)

I have several shots of graffiti pictures in NYC below :

Gone Baby gone…

Another downtown NY reference gone this week, after the DKNY mural now the Keith Haring wall on Houston and Bowery is over…

The mural was commissioned by Deitch in 1982 and the new mural will be designed by brazilian graffiti artists Os Gemeos, also courtesy of Deitch…

UPDATE : (also known as too lazy to do a new blog post)

now the mural has changed again just for the time of the big Shepard Fairey “May Day” exhibition at Deitch and I am guessing the Banksy film showing across the street at sunshine theater is a good promo as well. (MUST SEE MOVIE by the way)

And even if I like Shepard Fairey, I absolutely hate this mural, and my favorite part was this just right next to it:

The Famous DKNY wall is no longer a mark for tourists in despair, has been covered up. It was a great sign for lost tourists, and ready to shop girls like myself, to enter the Soho Mall

Here is what is looks like today:
