Artwork and plaque theft season continues within the East Village. (See right here and right here.)
For the previous few weeks, some guys in New York have been destroying my work by making an attempt to tear it off the partitions, in all probability to resell it. Disgrace on them! Road artwork belongs to the road, and in my case, as soon as ripped from the partitions, it’s nothing greater than damaged, unsigned tiles that you would discover in any tile retailer. They may by no means be authenticated.
Patrons ought to suppose twice of what they purchase, not solely are they being duped however they’re additionally depriving different individuals of having fun with free artwork on the road.
He adopted up yesterday with a photograph of a theft somebody took, displaying two males eradicating a basic invader above the signage at Ralph’s Well-known Italian Ices on the NW nook of Avenue A and Ninth Road…
We requested the parents at Ralph’s about it. Sadly, they did not see it taking place, because the theft occurred after retailer hours.
