Blu Gets Buffed @ MOCA
World famous street artist 'Blu' came to town to put a commissioned mural on the wall of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.
In a move that is causing a storm of uproar in the artistic community, Blu's mural was buffed less than a day after he had finished.
Blu was on site when the buffing began, and was reportedly very angry. Understandably so.
Its tragic whenever a piece is buffed, and this wall is especially sour, in regard to its being buffed as an act of censorship.
