Construction Workers Attempt to Save Banksy’s Concrete Confessional in the East Village

Original piece photographed by Bob Cooley (@bobcooley), before it was partially defaced

Leave it to the city’s construction workers to make a stand against the paintovers of Banksy’s pieces. Late this afternoon, photos began to surface on Instagram of a team of at least 5 or 6 workers placing plexiglass over  “Concrete Confessional” at Cooper Union in the East Village. We salute you!
