Well, it lasted longer than it was supposed to: the Keith Haring tribute mural that went up last April on Houston and Bowery is being whitewashed today. The mural went up to celebrate what would have been the artist's 50th birthday, it underwent a modification by his former collaborator in July 2008, and was meant to be down by this past December, according to Animal NY. We contacted Deitch Projects, who along with the Keith Haring Foundation commissioned the recreation of the artist's piece, to find out what might go up on the wall next. We'll update the post when we hear back, but in the meantime, expect it to be tagged by some enterprising young street artists by sun up.

Boring walls on Houston is the new thing.

Any five year old can paint as well as that putz.
A five year old can paint in a similar fashion as Haring but it's still better than an adult developer whitewashing it for a crappy concert advertisement.
If Rembrandt had been stupid enough to paint on the side of building instead of on canvases, his work would have disappeared too.
Wouldn't it be just fab to see an image of Michael Jackson doing his Thriller thing? Maybe a moon walk view.
I know! A Michael Jackson mural holding kids hands!!!
The man was so multi talented that it is really hard to pick one image. How about him on a plastic surgeon's couch while the surgeon is explaining to him how to put on his nose?
The picture of Michael Jackson's "History" statue being floated down the Thames would be pretty hilarious..
