US-NEW-YORK-GRAFFITI-MECCA-ERASED-BY-DEVELOPER


NEW YORK, NY - NOVEMBER 19: In this before-and-after photo compilation, the historic graffiti mecca 5 Pointz is seen on August 9, 2013 (bottom), and again, after being painted over by developers in the dead of night on November 19, 2013 in the Long Island City neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City. Artists and representatives of 5 Pointz have been in a brutal battle to save the building, which the owner, Jerry Wolkoff, wants to knock down in order to develop high rise apartment buildings. The artists have argued that the building should be saved by the city as a historic landmark, though in the early morning hours of November 19, 2013 the owners hired workers to paint over a majority of the paintings.
