Isiah Zagar’s legacy is far from secure in a time of developers always winning like they did at the Painted Bride after a 5 year legal battle. Some great shots of one of the late artist’s many already lost works. https://whyy.org/articles/painted-bride-mosaic-coming-down-isaiah-zagar-old-city-philadelphia/

#Philly #IsiahZagar

Philly especially South Philly just lost an icon, mosaic mural artist Isiah Zagar. It is hard to overestimate how his often copied never equaled broken “stuff” wall sized mosaics transformed everything it touched. Condolences to his family, esp. his wife who runs Eyes Gallery on South Street. The two of them make Philly weird in the best ways. https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/general/isaiah-zagar-legendary-south-philly-mosaicist-has-died-at-86/ar-AA1WGyoF
