Rabagliati mural graffiti’d over
Half of a detailed mural by Michel Rabagliati on the side of a bookstore on Mont‑Royal has been obliterated by a large tag. Not everyone is pleased.

Disgusting. The mural may be a bit too sentimental for avant-garde tastes, but it is charming and enhances the area. I’d be interested to know how the graffiti can be removed without affecting the underlying artwork.

The article ends with an explanation that murals are covered in a particular varnish that makes tag removal fairly straightforward.

throwies are as valid a part of urban visual texture as murals.
