Can't wait for this to appear on Super Punch, but for real, it's pretty funny how stupid LA is when it comes to it's many different art projects.
Essentially, the artist wanted his work to look weathered
How the individual bags weathered the natural elements — the canvas fraying or the paint fading and cracking in the sun — was part of an artwork about longevity, Lew said. The bags were meant to develop individual character over time, as people do.
But a maintenance crew just thought they were taking down trash.
Also, it's nothing new, LA screws up art all the time, I renumber this from last year
