For years I have seen Paul Richard’s plaques declaring anything and everything found on the streets of New York to be art for sale (if you have an extra $89,000 burning a hole in your pocket, that “stump, dirt, detrius & mixed media” could be yours!). Peep more of his site specific installations, as well as paintings, on his website, which I love for more reasons than I can list.
I got an even bigger laugh the other day when I saw that his latest project, in which he attempts to protect vandalism from vandalism, had moved to the wall at the corner of Spring & Bowery that has been a point of contention between a few artists lately.

And here he is again, “protecting” Dolk in Williamsburg
Also check out this performance piece of him hanging some of his signs around town:
