Highline Graffiti

Spent the weekend at The Highline and was pretty stoked to see these gorgeous tagged sculptures by fine artist Damián Ortega. 

Tagging originated in New York City but due to restrictive laws we see less and less of this American art form.

When I've traveled to the Europe I've seen amazing work (large scale murals and even graffiti festivals) mandated by the government and the artists. I'm happy to see beautiful tagging but also sad because that evolution has been cut off here on the States.

For more info on this work, check out the Highline website.
