5Pointz, a warehouse complex in the Long Island City section of Queens, was a street-art mecca that drew visitors and artists from around the world. Wolkoff had allowed artists to paint murals and graffiti on the buildings he owned since 2002 and over time, the location evolved into a New York City cultural landmark that appeared in tourist guidebooks

Consequences
Originally posted by twobittxn View PostSo, how is it vandalism if the owner of the building knowingly lets the artist paint there?

That is a insane ruling. Some of these artists have tremendous talent and some of them make millions doing it.
I personally know one guy who has done that. When he was growing up he was considered a bad kid and criminal for his graffiti. He had a thing for putting art on things that moved. Trains, buses ect. Became what is known as one of the Kings of Graffiti and has a world wide following, and I mean world wide. Opened a shop and started tattooing with his art skills. Now has art 2 galleries. One in France and one in Germany working on one in Las Vegas. He is currently making and designing toys and selling his art on prints.
Those pics Black Ice posted are on the lower east side of NYC and had the full cooperation of the buildings owner. Those are in the artsy SoHo area.
Some of the detail these artists can translate with a spray can is amazing.
Today in NYC some building owners would love to have artists to come paint their walls, garage or trucks.
