Haring painted the original there in 1982 but it only last a few months before it was painted over. The recreation was painted in May to honor what would have been Haring’s 50th birthday. It was scheduled to remain up until Dec. 21, 2008. I took this shot while I was in NYC during the Thanksgiving weekend.
