Mural
Commentary:
In 1995 Sam Mulberry, with permission from the owners of Amoco,
created a Hyde Park institution: the graffiti practice wall. Over
the years, hundreds of graffiti writers have come to do serious
work for fun and for a few weeks of fame. Then someone is bound
to come and cover it up with his/her new work. Many of the best
graffiti artists in Chicago have displayed here at one time or
another.
The wall will come down soon as a new building is going to be
built on the premises.
