"The Death of Graffiti by LADY PINK, 1982, acrylic on masonite, 19x22."" Courtesy of the Museum of the City of New York. LADY PINK painted The Death of Graffiti just as New York City Mayor Ed Koch and officials of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority reinvigorated their campaign to rid the subway system of graffiti. LADY PINK depicts herself nude on a pile of aerosol spray cans. She points to a ""clean train"" emerging from the right edge of the painting that signifies the city's effort to give all of the trains in service a fresh coat of white paint."
