Vandals Leave Their Mark On Notable Chicago Art Institution
Graffiti writers bombed the outside of the Art Institute of Chicago, leaving a trail of aerosol carnage over 50 feet long on exterior of the Modern Wing. Workers did their best to remove the paint on Monday. A spokesman for the museum said the entire incident was caught on tape and it took them about 20-30 minutes.
And while vandalism is certainly discouraged, the museum’s Public Affairs Director, Erin Hogan, critiqued the work and offered some praise, remaking how they did employ “a good use of color.”

SAIC also currently has a course on graffiti. Possible HW assignment? http://blog.smart-crew.com/2010/02/02/art-history…
