The Banksy Dilemma for Bristol, U.K.

A work by he U.K.-based street-art superstar Banksy has recently put the city council of Bristol, England between the horns of of dilemma. The "graffiti" artwork was put up on the side of a public building, the city council itself. Recently, the council has tasked itself with enforcing a general policy of stopping and erasing graffiti across Bristol, but it recognizes that the work of Banksy is of an altogether different order -- Banksy himself has, during the past several years, risen to become in the eyes of the art world (and much of the public) a genuine artist ,who recieves well-paid commissions to put the same kind of art works in other places. Does the city council remove the work from the building or keep it, setting a precedent for graffiti vandals. This is the issue that the council is wrestling with. In the meantime, they made an exception and have allowed Banksy's art work to stay.

The artist flew into New York just to put up new work at 11 Spring Street as part of the exhibition to mark the building's last days as a landmark of ephemeral art.

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.)

Bear Stencil on 2nd Ave., East Village, NYC

bear_love_stencil_ev.jpg

Lovin' this stencil we found on 2nd Avenue in the East Village in New York City. When we saw this piece, we thought it looked like the work of U.K.-based Banksy, but on closer inspection it looks more like the work of seminal stencil artist Blek Le Rat. But could it easily be the work of another artist and likely is; the piece is signed at the bottom, but the moniker is illegible. (If any Global Graphica readers can identify the work, please drop us a line.)

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.
