Though Curbed smartly noted last week that the mural at 6th Street and the Bowery is in danger, should the lot be sold, it turns out that the wrecking ball may loom even larger, in the form of that bastion of architectural rigor, the Cooper Union. Turns out space the mural occupies might be worth upwards of ten large a month, should some buyer be found. And if one turns up, it’s curtains for the mural, reports the Times. Cooper Union is apparently sticking to their end of the agreement, which was to not touch it for a year, which is well past. But ask most anyone in the neighborhood, I would hazard they would be aghast that what looked like a memorial is actually considered a placeholder by its owner.

We don’t need no stinking murals.
