NOTHING ORIGINAL AND F*UCKING ANNOYING. A CHEAP 3RD RATE WANNA BE 'ARTIST' WHO BAD MOUTHS AND ANNOYS HIS NEIGHBORS. DUDE SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR CREATING BAD AND ANNOYING DISPLAYS OF SELF GRATIFICATION.

Seriously…why wouldn't you applaud an artist whose constantly creating and crossing frontiers with his photography, films and tape sculpture…

He's a human being with a spirit to create…he's not hurting anyone- if anything…he could hurt himself creating his work…which stands for a destination point…

Your narrow minds/judgment will kill the world -

several NYPD patrolmen on 23rd Street cutting down this no-talent's masking tape from 25 feet above the street. he should be thanksful none of them got hurt doing it or he'd be on his way back to jail.

OF COURSE THE PHOTO IS BY SAM BASSETT. NOBODY ELSE CARES TO WASTE FILM ON HIS AMATEUR DOGSH*T. I'M HALF SURPRISED HE DIDN'T USE PHOTOSHOP.

AND I'M QUITE SURE CRISTO IS THRILLED ABOUT SAM CALLING HIMSELF THE "NEXT CRISTO" THE SAME WEEK THAT JEANNE-CLAUDE DIES. THAT WAS A REAL CLASSY TOUCH, DUMBASS.

What a complete twit Sam is. When the Hotel Chelsea wanted to have an elderly tenant declared incapacitated two months ago wasn't it the same Sam who stomped up and down about being her "guardian"? I'd like to know what exactly what this "good samaritan" has done since then to help her — HOW ABOUT NOTHING!!!!!!!! Maybe if the media was on that story like they are on this non-story about an idiot who was too scared shitless to crawl out on a ledge? But we all know he's only about getting attention for himself and then moving on to the next potential newspaper blurb. Get a life!

I'm from planet earth and, yes, how much does this obviously very needy person pay his publicist?

If he had ever attended an event at Sotheby's then he might have more respect for their property but, typical of his generation, he demonstrates no regard for anyone but himself.

Yah, of course the tape comes off. But why should Sotheby's or the City of New York be running around cleaning up after this wannabe?

Hmmmm…going around calling himself "the next Cristo?" I don't know whats more presumtuous — his trespassing or the nonsense that comes out of his mouth. Or trying to tell the newspaper that NYPD cops would have any idea who Cristo is…what a fabrication.

At least Cristo got a permit from the city for those stupid and disruptive gates in central park.
