“Guess who stopped by the club last night?”. The official Twitter account of the New York Hustler Club did not miss the opportunity to take advantage of his latest and most distinguished visit, Mr. Banksy himself. His one-day hiatus caught off guard the city, but Today the elusive street artist hit again with his signature black and white stencil style and not a wall but a door. The piece depicts a guy in a tuxedo with a wilting bouquet of flowers waiting (in vain) his lover… allegedly a stripper of the club. When I got there, the piece was already being guarded by three security men, who were standing in front of the stencil almost obstructing the shot. As reported by Gothamist, the Larry Flint’s Hustler Club has decided to remove the door “to keep it safe from vandals”. They are determining where it can be displayed in the future… “hopefully inside of the club”. So, you know guys…
UPDATE (10/25): This past night, the owner of the club removed the door. You can see the workers ruining the piece right here.
