It made perfect sense that they came at night. It must have
been an army of painters who arrived at the famous 5 Pointzbuilding in Queens, New York, on the 19th of November 2013. For the last time, they looked up on the walls covered with the colors that they were about to remove from the building, best described as the Mecca of graffiti. When the morning came, the building was white-washed – primed in the same way as the graffiti painters sometimes prepare their walls. Washed away was also the possibility for 5 Pointz to be preserved as a listed building. Under the white paint I can barely make out a quote. It reads: Rest in Paint.
