The Location

Our mission was to restore Richard Haas' mural on the 112 Prince Street building. Standing five stories tall, the mural can be found in one of the most high profile areas of Soho in

New York City.

The Surface

After nearly 50 years, this iconic mural has seen some hard days. The restoration required 70 gallons of primer, 19 rolls of 4' H. x 70' W. paper to transfer the drawing, 50+ super sharpies to draw the artwork onto the wall.

The Finish

An eight person crew, worked four painters at a time, throughout 35 days on two suspended scaffolds supported by 100, 50lb, steel counterweights. We used 30 gallons of Keim Mineral Coatings to repaint the mural. 

Steps To Success

Below you will find in-depth documentation into the restoration of Richard Haas' iconic 112 Prince Street mural, a New York City public art staple and neighborhood classic.

Step One

In order for the mural to stand the test of time, we prepared the wall by priming it so that the paint would adhere and be resilient against all weather conditions. A task such as this required the best paint for the job, Keim Mineral Coatings.

Step Two

On the side of building there are two real windows, which are incorporated in the painting.  In order to make the painted windows look real we used the two real windows as our initial point of reference as we transferred the mural imagery onto the wall.

Step Three

After years of coordination, a small team of the finest muralists repainted Richard Haas' painting. Haas, a Master Artist and pioneer, helped pave the way for muralists like us to continue this timeless and traditional art form today and into the future.
