Graffiti art highlighted in NYC exhibition

In this 1978 photo provided by the Museum of the City of New York, the graffiti mural “Howard the Duck,” is painted on a handball court in New York. The Lee Quinones mural was a pivotal work that helped propel the illicit graffiti art movement from the subway system to above ground, and into the mainstream. The original mural has been painted over, but Quinones recreated it on canvas and it is part of the exhibition, "City as Canvas." (AP Photo/Charlie Ahearn) NEW YORK (AP) — Spray-painted at night on a Lower East Side handball court, the "Howard the Duck" mural showed the comic book character peeking from behind a trash can with the words: "Graffiti is a art, And if art is a crime, Let God forgive all."
