Cielo’s the Limit For Nick Walker
In the week before Bonham’s NY auctioned off his work, British stencil artist Nick Walker was busy painting a number of legal walls around lower Manhattan and Williamsburg. He painted a radio controlled giraffe on Roebling Tea House, some suited umbrella holders on Thunder Jackson and Restaurant PT, and a pair of sparring splashers on Nike iD Design Boutique. For the enjoyment of queued up club-goers, Walker stenciled a pin-striped rat killer on Cielo in the Meatpacking District. And inside the club’s smoker’s garden, Walker painted a few smaller pieces, which we photographed below. It’s hard to say what effect, if any, these pieces had on auction results but many of Walker’s pieces were sold off for triple the estimated price at Wednesday’s Contemporary Art auction.
