Manhattan Mural

Buildings at busy intersections, such as this at Houston Street and Broadway, are often used as billboards, like this gigantic six-story photo mural of NYC that has become a landmark. It depicts the Statue of Liberty superimposed over a skyline of skyscrapers, viewed through DKNY initial cutouts, which loom and dominate over all.

Since its creation in 1989, it has faded and softened a bit, better integrating it into the building. The three windows at the top suggest someone inhabiting the space inside this mural. Wonder who that might be – maybe we ought to ring the doorbell one day and find out…

    Oh, is that thing still there? Cool. I liked it a lot, eventhough it’s an ad.
