Barry McGee Houston Street Mural

Jeff Newman, of The Art Collectors, reports live from the corner of Houston and Bowery, NYC, where Barry McGee has just completed his commission on the Tony Goldman sanctioned art wall. McGee (aka Twist) worked with long-time collaborator Amaze, and the duo follow in the footsteps of Os Gemeos and Shepard Fairey as the third official exhibitors on the space.

You may recall the wall opened with a reproduction Keith Haring mural and that there were reports of vandal graffiti tagging to the work. Is McGee responding to this in his tag heavy mural?
