About: In the 1980s, Richard Hambleton became known as the godfather of street art for his work that appeared on buildings throughout the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
This work comes from the collection of Robert Murphy. Robert Murphy, first met Hambleton in 1989 and the two established a friendship quickly. From aiding the artist with housing to preparing canvases, procuring art materials and just hanging out, Murphy and Hambleton remained close until the artist’s death in 2017. Robert is featured in the movie "Shadowman" and a prolific collector. This work is accompanied by a copy of a letter of authenticity, dated July 2, 2019, from Robert Murphy.
