Banksy in New York
May 18th, 2010 Posted in Art Scene, Brooklyn, Graffiti, New York City, Street Art
If you're into it, you've probably already heard, but anonymous and notorious street artist, Banksy, has finally landed in New York City. At least four new pieces have gone up in the past day or two, (3 in Manhattan and at least one in DUMBO). The one seen above is on Cedar St. at Trinity Place down in the Financial District. By the time I reached it, someone had already stickered a piece of it. Apparently it's been further vandalized over night, with someone scribbling white all over the figure. (Bastards.)
I haven't heard anything about the piece in DUMBO being hit, which is nice to know as it's pretty awesome. (See below.)
Other sightings have been reported in Chinatown and Soho. Happy hunting, fans!
*Update*: Spoke too soon re: the DUMBO Banksy. They've all been bombed. More on that soon.
