The Story of the Mysterious Street Art-Covered Building at 11 Spring St., New York City

There's a place we've referenced many times here on Global Graphica, a place that is important in New York street art, so muhc so that is has become an internationally known icon and destination for artists. That place is the building at 11 Spring Street in downtown New York City. However, the building has been a mystery to most people, even long-time neighbors in the Nolita neighborhood where the stucture is stands. The building's exterior is a world-famous spot for street art and graffiti, which the owners in recent decades have left alone. The New York Times recently ran an article about the building. The building was recently bought from Lachlan Murdoch, the son of Rupert of Fox News fame. As a result a lot of information about 11 Spring St. has suddenly become available. Many pictures of street art and graf at 11 Spring St. are available for viewing on this site. Here's part of the list.

(Big merci beaucoup to Darren for the tip!)
