Gorgeous Greenpoint mural brings life to otherwise dour corner
Peter Kirchhausen had a building and a dream.
And the owner of 903 Manhattan Avenue spent tens of thousands of dollars to realize it: cover an entire side of the four-story building with a glorious, colorful mural by Swedish artist Ola Kalnins.
“Mentally, artistically, spiritually, art awakens things in people,” Kirchhausen said. “It has the power to brighten up our days.”
