NEW YORK – Some incredible murals went up this summer on a commercial building along North 10 Street in Williamsburg. Brooklyn-based artist Gilf collaborated with the Rappaport Sons Bottle Co., which owns the buiding.
It’s great to see a local company partnering with incredible artists to dress up their building, which is situated on a rather grimy street with nothing much to otherwise distinguish it.
