Welcome to BSA Images of the Week!
It’s great to see new pieces appearing on the streets this week, including numerous tributes to our patron renegade Eurasian eagle-owl, the famous Flaco, who escaped from the zoo and spent much time exploring Manhattan in the last year. His fine-feathered life tragically cut down when he flew into a building, it is surmised, Flaco’s life is nonetheless celebrated for his badass breakout in search of freedom. Another famously plumed New Yorker, Iris Apfel, the wealthy showy fashion icon who had wild taste and outstanding clothes, died at 102. You can check out a documentary made about her a few years ago here.
We start with some tributes to Flaco on the street and follow with some other bon mots for you to see.
Here is our weekly conversation with the street, this week including Gane, Calicho Art, Phoebe New York, Beltr, and BAK.
