Description
The Five Pointz Graffiti Art exhibit.The owner of this building let local graffiti artists paint large murals on the outside of the building. The art became a big hit. people from the area and from outside the country came to view the art. When the owner decided to either sell or build condos on the property the building had to be demolished. Artists protested the pending demolition. They filed a lawsuit in NYS Supreme Court. One early morning, under the cover of darkness, the owner of the building had the outside walls white washed. It ruined the art work. The Judge who presided over the case, ruled the owner responsible for the damage. The owner had to pay a large amount of money to the artists. The building was then demolished to make way for a large condo apartment building.
