tagging as art


Tagging is not art but this attack on an agnes b. boutique in France by Kidult has some visual appeal. I am posting this because when driving by the MOCA Art in the Streets show, I noticed that this same tagger/artist had tagged the JR pieces located on Alameda. Seems every famous tagger/artist will come and tag MOCA, perhaps, during the course of the show.

agnes b. is a French fashion designer who has a great art collection and has supported street/graffiti art for a very long time. This is a real tag (Kidult had also attacked the Jean-Charles de Castelbajac boutique with lavender-colored paint). agnes b. was known to have "thanked" Kidult for the action and for the publicity but it's still a huge cost to the owner/company to remove.
