The End of Street Art at 11 Spring St., SoHo, NYC
The New York Times has run a story about the final days of street art at the 11 Srping Street building in downtown New York City. During the past four weeks or so the new owners of the building, who will turn the building into a condos, have allowed artists to legally put up art work on the inside of the building, as well as the outside, in an effort to stage one last exhibition this weekend before construction crews start their work. Much of the art on the interior will be concealed behind drywall after this weekend. The building is open to the public Dec. 15 - 17, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM. (Tip of the hat to Jess E. for the tip.)

Video: Massive Attack of Street Art at 11 Spring St. Building in New York City
Here's a another, longer video clip showing the massive attack of fresh new street art at 11 Spring St. in Nolita, new York City. This video shows the full breadth of the new work on along Elizabeth Street side of the building and the around the entrance on Spring Street. The work shown include pieces by Faile, Bast, WK Interact, The London Police, Flower Guy, Above, Fake, Cheeky and many more. This clip shows the state of the building onthe evening of Wednesday November 15, 2006.

Video: Cheeky Signs Piece + Panorama of 11 Spring St., NYC
Here's a clip showing "Cheeky" and crew sign a fresh piece at the building at 11 Spring St. (a.k.a. the "candle building") in Nolita, New York City. The new piece was put up on Tuesday (Nov. 14, 2006) evening a couple of days after several of downtown New York's most active street artists put up a ton of new work on the building. The video shows the breadth of these artists fresh work on the Elizabeth St. side of the buidling.

No. 4: Street Art All-Stars Stage Massive Attack at 11 Spring Street, NYC
And in this image is another part of the strip of street art works (including pieces by Faile, Bast, and Cheeky) that stretch along the Elizabeth Street side of the building at 11 Spring Street in downtown Manhattan, New York City. The work by Faile is epic in scale, cut along the building arches.
BACKGROUND
At some time this past weekend, several of the best-known and most active street artists in downtown New York City put up fresh work, some of it in the form of massive wheat-paste-ups, on the building at 11 Spring Street in the Nolita neighbrhood of downtown Manhattan. Among the works are pieces by WK Interact, Faile, Bast and Cheeky. Within the past two weeks new work by Flower Guy, Swoon, Above and The London Police has also gone up on the structure.
The building has been empty and seemingly uninhabited for years despite changes of ownership in recent years. For many years, each window of the tenement-style structure had a light in the form of a fake candle, hence the informal name "candle building." Eleven Spring St. has been a bit of mystery until recently when the property was purchased for residential use. What appeared to be early renovation work began last week.
Some fear that the redevelopment of the building for actual habitation might spell the end of street art at the site. Over the years, 11 Spring has become a landmark of street art and a canvas and mecca for artists and lovers of street art. This massive attack of new work on the building almost seems like a way of saying "street art is here to stay no mattter what the future of the building."

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.

Guerilla Subway Art 2: "Do Not Fine TWU!"
This copycat subway door sticker has a political message specific to New Yorkers, who are sensitive and opinionated when it comes to transportation. (A three-day transit strike last December forced millions of New Yorkers to commute to work on foot in bitterly cold weather just days before the winter holidays.) The strike was organized by the Transit Workers Union, or TWU, which was subject to millions of dollars in fines due to the walk-out. The message here: "Do Not Fine TWU!"

Twerps! "Lobster Roll" Sticker
In a post dated January 24, 2006, we posted the above image, and misidentified the sticker shown and its creator as "Neckface." But a reader, Mikhail, has kindly shown us the error in our original post. The photo above actually shows Twerps! "Lobster Roll" sticker and not a sticker by Neckface. We found the sticker on the base of a lamppost in Soho, New york City. As Mikhail pointed out, "Twerps! works almost exclusively with stickers" but Neckface does not. We apologize to the artist and our readers for the error. (Props to Mikhail for setting us straight.)

A detail of a recent Neckface sticker in Soho, NYC.
Background Note
The work of Neckface is among the most familiar array of street-art images in lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, New York City. Neckface works in several mediums and is known for stickers and wall pieces featuring creepy characters who have little if any neck (hence the apt name "Neckface"). Neckface also often simply scrawls his name in large child-like lettering on the sides of buildings and other urban surfaces. But it is for his stickers that he is probably best known. These can be found in many major cities, including NYC, San Francisco and Tokyo. The Brooklyn-based artist is oringally from California. He has exhibited his work in galleries throughout the world and has had his art (and himself) featured in magazines and newspapers.

Background Note
We've noticed "Peg Leg" stickers appearing in lower Manhattan and Williamsburg, Brooklyn, since last summer. Usually the lettering of the moniker comes in warm orange and yellow hues. But last week we found this snowflaked winter version of the "Peg Leg" sticker on a lamp post on Varick St. in Soho, New York City.
By the way, we've got the Nikon Coolpix digital camera workng again, so we snapped this image with a proper hi-res cam insteading of using the lower resolution built-in cam on our Palm Treo 650 cell phone.
