I understand from Jeremiah Moss that 5Pointz over in Queens has been whitewashed in advance of its impending reconfiguration as a pricey condo. Knowing of its fate, I made a pilgrimage out to 5Pointz late last summer to document it before it was destroyed. Here's just a fleeting handful of images from that day. There were many, many more.
Not to get all hyperbolic, but in terms of NYC street art, the whitewashing of 5Pointz is comparable to the tearing down of the original Penn Station. Just sayin'.
