I’m so glad my mother had the idea to drive around her town of West Palm Beach last year to photograph the sudden increase in wildly-painted murals throughout town.
I just saw on the news tonight, March 4, 2016- and read in the Sun Sentinel that “a portion of the mural façade of the Alexander Lofts apartment building broke away about 11 a.m., sending bricks from the six-story complex down through the roof of a small law office building below. The 1926 building is covered with a brick façade that is tied to an interior wall by metal attachments, said the communications director for the city of West Palm Beach. A failure of those attachments caused a piece of the brick wall to fall from the six-story complex down through the roof of the Law Offices of William W. Price, at 320 Fern St, West Palm Beach, Florida. Los Angeles artist Tristan Eaton painted his largest mural called "The Spirit of Communication" on the side of the Alexander Lofts building. The colorful piece covers 8,000 square-feet and is a tribute to Alexander Graham Bell.”
