Art Kenny Scharf Restores Bombed Bowery Mural
Posted by Benjamin Sutton on Mon, Jan 31, 2011 at 8:55 AM
Two days after opening his big show of paintings at Paul Kasmin Gallery in Chelsea, Kenny Scharf returned to his Lower East Side mural, a popular target for graffiti writers (especially following the artist's perceived provocations).
Several bloggers and tweeters were on the scene Saturday afternoon and evening to see Scharf spray-painting over graffiti, restoring the mural's Pop-toned cartoon smileys. Apparently their snowman surveillance guard wasn't doing his job.
