i love you too, mr lange: symonds st 2006


A piece by Ligga, dedicated to the late David Lange, on Symonds St, 2006. Peter Lange gave Ligga a teapot for his efforts. The Auckland City Council painted over it. Now it looks like they're at it again.

I've found a photo of the Lange mural from 2007. It wasn't painted over by the council - some lame-arse did a throw-up over it.

The wall got really messy for a while after that, and from memory it was painted grey at some stage, but murals returned soon after.

Thanks Robyn for your photo/link. The Lange wall is now covered in posters. Anyway, perhaps a building may soon go into that space, as the site appears to have been sold.
