Out with the OLD. In with the NEW. Thank god it was only a tribute they whitewashed.

Sad but true. The Keith Haring tribute mural, once located on Bowery and East Houston is gone.


Originally Keith Haring painted this mural in 1982.


The tribute was painted in commemoration of what would have been the artists 50th birthday back in 2008. In its place now stands a new mural.

Painted by Os Gemeos("The Twins"), Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo from Sao Paulo, Brazil. The sick pair have a number of other works around the world. Although it was sad to see a childhood favorite go. Thank god it was only a tribute they whitewashed. Welcome to New York Os Gemeos.
