Incredible graffiti covered building in New York City

Here is something you don't see every day. This large building in Queens
is totally covered in graffiti. Much of it is quite impressive. It's visible
from the 7 train.

thats pretty wild. cool paintjob

 

Not graffiti, it's 'urban art'.

 

Yeah, most NeoCon's learn that "Art" has a frame
and hangs on a wall. So they believe that nothing
else can be art. Hahaha... It's simple for them; it
doesn't have a frame so it can't be art.

Anyway, I like to think of it more as "paint sculpture"
and it looks great outdoors.

I also find 'train art' to be fascinating. Imagine, both a canvass, and
automatic distribution so the art can be enjoyed by millions. Of
course, some of it is pretty awful, but much of it is really impressive.
Given that the artist has to work quickly, and takes a risk of
prosecution, it is an expression one must have a strong motivation to
express.

 

I agree. I've just saved one of the 1024 x 768 images. Thanks for
sharing.

Yeah, they certainly dressed up those ugly subway cars
back in the 70's and 80's. It was almost as though the city
was finally gaining some character. It spoke of a kind of
sophistication in the ghettos that the media seemed to want
to ignore. Pity that the only "solution" to the bad stuff the
city has, is to ban it all everywhere. But then, they took
down many of Keith's drawings, they were all over the
subways... Too bad they were unable to even guess that
Keith's "gift" to the city would have paid for many a new
subway car or station upgrade.

Those squiggles were worth millions, but the city just
threw them away. Is there any plan to prevent that kind
of thing from happening again? Nope, they wouldn't
hire an art appraiser or someone else with an eye, who
might be able to tell them what they should preserve against
a day when it might become valuable. In this case millions
of dollars that could have helped the city were utterly wasted.
And it's approved because ignorance is acceptable!

Since when did this become a political discussion?

Leave it up to someone to ruin a perfectly good thing
by bringing in politics.
