Art / News Brooklyn Landlord Destroys Artwork
Posted by Henry Stewart on Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 5:38 PM
The Brewery rents, and does not own, the warehouse; the landlord tore the sidewalk up on Friday. It was repaved yesterday. A source at the brewery tells us:
Had I known ahead of time that they were going to destroy it, I would have tried to do something to save it. I cross the street between the brewery and the warehouse a dozen times a day. I’ve seen countless people stop to take a quick snapshot [of the artwork]. It’s pretty sad that its gone.
Of course, we know the city cares not for its history, especially where sidewalk renovations are concerned.
