Graffiti in Los Angeles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American city of Los Angeles has seen graffiti for more than a century.[1][2][3] According to the Los Angeles Times, "Graffiti has been a central part of Los Angeles for generations, an omnipresent part of the cityscape that has endured many attempts to stamp it out."[4]
The 2nd Street Tunnel has been described as a "magnet for protest graffiti".[5][6]
According to The Week, Oceanwide Plaza "has become a site for social media stunts and triggered debate over the value of artistry versus vandalism. The complex, which is currently known as LA's graffiti tower, is quickly becoming a nuisance for the city."[7][8][9] The towers are depicted in a Tony Hawk video game.[10]
