A few months ago we blogged about the appearance of Invader’s mosaic-based Space Invader artwork in our neighbourhood. As a follow up to this, art.blogging.la, reports that many of Invader’s pieces in L.A. are being torn down, some of them having existed for well over three years. Invader has since released a public comment asking the persons responsible to end the destruction:
STOP THE SLAUGHTER!
I’ve just learned that in the last few weeks many of the space invaders in the streets of Los Angeles have been removed. I have good reason to think that this is the work of an individual and not done by the city. I would like to ask the person who is doing this to stop for two main reasons :
1. that is very selfish act to steal art that is supposed to be free and for everybody.
2. that is ridiculous. The tiles are not signed then they have no value. You can go and buy some in any tiles shop (like “Opiocolor” in beverly hills where I bought them ) they will be the same but not broken.
