The Handwriting on the Wall Says, ‘GiGi Young Originals’ By DAVID W. DUNLAP
Advertising murals painted by hand on blank brick side walls in the 1800s and 1900s were supposed to have disappeared by now. Color slides were supposed to have disappeared by now. Books were supposed to have disappeared by now.
For that matter, Frank H. Jump was supposed to have disappeared by now. He learned he had H.I.V. in 1986, when he was 26 years old and AIDS was a death sentence.
They all survived longer than expected. That happy confluence has yielded “Fading Ads of New York City,” a new 224-page book from the History Press. It showcases Mr. Jump’s loving record of hand-painted “ghost signs” that lasted long enough to go from eyesore to historical asset. A book signing is scheduled Thursday at the Barnes & Noble on the Upper West Side. – David W. Dunlap – read more
