Shepard Fairey's Wall on Houston and Bowery

Shepard Fairey who created this iconic image during Obama's campaign has an exhibit opening at the Deitch on May 1.

In conjunction with Fairey's show he was given the famous wall on Bowery and Houston, former home to a Keith Haring piece.  The wall went up last week.  I've been wanting to go take photos of it and decided to go last night as I heard that it has already been vandalized more than once.  My photos didn't turn out great, but I'm sharing them here anyway.








Here is a short video interview with Shepard Fairey about this piece.
