More on 11 Spring Street

More 11 Spring Street info, from a reader: "One thing that can be added to the dialogue about the building is that 11 Spring Street is known in the arts community as one of the most famous locations in the world to see and post street art. Artists from all over the world know about 11 Spring and travel to New York specifically to post their art there. Most people remember 11 Spring for the massive poster of Mao that years ago was placed on the side of the building (the poster was done by the LA based artist, Shepard Fairey) and remarkably was never removed. 11 Spring is the home of some of the best street art in the world, and artists come from countries all over the world just to place their art on the building. If you walk by, you will see hundreds of individual pieces of art from stickers to posters to graffiti."
