“At least a picture on the wall”
Artist Erik den Breejen has been working on a mural portrait of David Bowie on the side wall of Rag & Bone’s Nolita boutique on the corner of Elizabeth and Houston Streets in Manhattan.
He finished the blue, red and pink, 10x13-foot mural portrait of David Bowie (commissioned by aforementioned clothing manufacturer), earlier today (Wednesday).
Based on a live photo from the 1978 World Tour, the image is composed of approximately 900 words from the Bowie songs Fashion and "Heroes".
The mural, Fashionheroesbowie, is on view on the Elizabeth Street side of the Rag & Bone boutique at 73 East Houston St. for about a month, according to the store.
