This morning, the 5Pointz Twitter feed reports the latest crazy news in the crazy saga of 5Pointz. The building owners Jerry and David Wolkoff painted the building white last night with police protection. Another Tweet notes that the 5Pointz artists almost got arrested. We will update this post with more photos as they become available — after the jump, see another shot of the artwork that’s left on the back wall. If you snap any pictures yourself please send them directly to emily@brownstoner.com.
The white-out comes after a judge denied the artists a permanent injunction to stop demolition. In response, the artists held a rally this weekend. They planned to form a human chain around the building come demolition day, which is expected before the end of the year.
As this Twitter user says, “All you #7train riders this morning are in for a bleak look as you pass #5pointz this morning. Its now an ugly hospital white.” One more photo after the jump… UPDATE: Many more photos of the paint job in question after the jump, including five photos from one reader’s commute this morning and video taken from the train.

This is a private property! I love how these “artists” think they can deface other people’s property and pretend it is theirs. Buy your own building and then deface it. No one will bother you.
Wow this is sad men…..years of memory just erased like nothing…..but hopefully one day ill have money and i myself will buy a whole building White and let all the artist go do their thing and make it a museum
Good for the owner. You want to paint on a wall… fine. BUY YOUR OWN PROPERTY. Why is he an asshole? because he has money to buy a building. If I was the owner, I would have put lazy ass “artists” in jail for defacing my property. What give you the right to paint on someone else’s property and then call him an a-hole? Private property… learn what is means morons!
I agree with you Wolkoff. I laugh at the “artists” who deface private property and then get mad when the owner of the building wants to do what they want to do with their property. They broke the law when they spraypainted their stupidity on your walls. Now they’re upset? Tell them to spray paint on their own walls or better yet I will. Please post your addresses below and I will come and spray some bullshit on your mommas house. Thanks.
Very simple. Buy your own property and deface it. No one will bother you then.
Is x-aisle your real name? It looks like you may be anonymous as well.
I totally agree Jule’s. These “artists” are just bored kids who previously slashed all the tires in the neighborhood and need something new to destroy.
internet tough guy alert.
“May they soon tag up your building”
Far more chance of that happening now this action has taken place.
