small change to 1980s segment[edit]

i thought the note 'ironically (or not ironically at all)' was somewhat unhelpful with respect to Shafrazi championing graffiti art during the 1980s. it doesn't seem ironic, since he became famous for doing something quite similar to graffiti art. i added Keith Haring's name, as he is probably the most famous graffiti artist that Shafrazi has represented.

Was this actually sprayed onto the painting itself, or on a print of it? -Branddobbe 05:00, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Beware Vandal: We know where you are...[edit]

No one asked you to "dwell within the act of the [Guernica]'s creation, [or] get involved with the making of the work, [or] put [your] hand within it..." I doubt Pablo Picasso would have approved of your desecration of his masterpiece. Many of us don't, and for us, you are simply scum. Paint your own protest images if you must, and leave the masterpieces for the rest of the world to enjoy and ponder. Save the spray-painting for the walls of your own "gallery"...

His gallery in NYC for those who would care to return any favors:

Staggering Picasso trove turns up in France; 271 previously unknown works...[edit]

تونی, as a gallery owner, what's the smart money say about these being destroyed by a punk with a spray-can? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.44.109.225 (talk) 04:17, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
