Via WNYC – “A Tour of NYC’s Coolest and Oldest Graffiti”:
The Richard Hambleton retrospective at Phillips de Pury & Company is only on view through Tuesday. But there’s still plenty of historic graffiti around town to cast your eye over.
With the help of graffiti aficionada Katherine Lorimer (who snaps shots of street art as Luna Park), WNYC has created a tour of five of the coolest and oldest pieces of graffiti around town. Scroll down to see our picks and check out a map of the spots here.
(Note that this was posted by WNYC a year ago (Sept 2011). I came across it today thx to timehop, b/c I tweeted the link a year ago.)
The other 4 stops on the tour—click thru for photos and descriptions (and for the GoogleMap screengrabbed above):
Graffiti Stop No. 2: A fresh ESPO-flavored pack of gum at W. 40th St. and Ninth Ave.
Graffiti Stop No. 3: A signature roller piece by REVS and COST on the High Line
Graffiti Stop No. 4: ”The Allen Boys Mural” by Lee Quiñones at 201 Allen St.
Graffiti Stop No. 5: A collaborative production mural by Zephyr, Smith and Pink at S. 9th St. and Havemeyer St.
