The building was once Jean-Michel Basquiat's home. He lived and worked there from 1983 until his death in 1988.
Street artist Doodle Hedz told The Post, “The street art community is like ‘What the f–k bro’? Why would you do this?”.
“He f—ing sucks. It’s the third time he’s done it. You can spend hours creating something you share with the city for free and someone comes along with 79 cents of pink paint and s–ts all over it.”k
“When Jolie got the lease everyone was panicking that she was going to paint it. But word on the street is [renowned graffiti artist] Albert Diaz spoke with Angelina Jolie and advocated for her to leave the front alone, and she was going to let it ride.”
“The people who work there are very nice. They still let us do this and don’t call the cops. This is one of the few walls in the city still dedicated to street art.”
“Nobody can understand why he’s destroying other artists’ work. There’s such a total disrespect for the art.”
Doodle wondered, “What are you angry at? Are you angry at Basquiat? Are you angry at the street art community? Are you jealous? Do you have no talent to put up anything else so you’re just going to cover everybody else’s s–t? Why? This is people’s passion, blood, sweat, tears".
