It seems that the paste that was used to put up The Loyal Subjects massive Pico & Wilshire piece had a chemical reaction with the paint on the wall.
Even though this piece is only a week old, it looks like it has been aging for decades.
We could tell that the piece was coming off, so MelroseandFairfax swung by the day after snapping the first 3 shots in hopes it had come off the wall and we could take it home. Unfortunately, we missed the piece being buffed by a few hours. We found the piece in a wet lump in the garbage and tried to salvage it, but it was beyond saving. The last pic documents the extinction of this Pico & Wilshire in the garbage, but hopefully we will see more of these guys around town.
