West Village - Pink Building, Angers the Neighborhood

Award-winning director and painter Julian Schnabel just exposed his massive West Village building and the neighbors aren’t happy.

quote-picWe haven’t seen Pink that hot since 2001’s Missundaztood. But Schnabel’s mind works differently than us normals.

Did you really expect the thought process that gave way to his massive plate paintings would debase itself by soliciting neighborhood input?

It’s not like when Michelangelo was painting the Sistine Chapel he was like, …”Fellow Romans: better like this? Or better like this?”

Andrew Berman, the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation’s director said:

quote-pic“I don’t know for sure — but my fear is that this will be the color,” he said. “I think virtually any other color would be more acceptable.”

“What it actually looks like is a house you would see in the hills above Hollywood — if it was two stories. On the Greenwich Village waterfront at 17 stories, it’s a nightmare,”

Ha Ha!
