@@@ NYC WallMart wanted to start a conversation about who owns street art - the graffiti artist or the building owner - as well as make money, company representative John told the Daily News. He wanted to keep his real name secret due to the "semi-illegal" nature of the business.

The company has framed four graffiti works in its first three weeks, all in Brooklyn, and one frame has already been removed. One piece up for sale goes for $111, but jumps to $295 for custom framing.

The graffiti artist may not agree with someone else making money off their self expression. Some taggers consider their work as a contribution to the "public good," Jeff Stirewalt, who leads a graffiti and street art tour in Brooklyn, told the Daily News.

"It doesn't have that same accessibility, openness, authenticity," Stirewalt said.

John finds it "interesting that anyone has a claim to their own art," given the unclear ownership rights of the work.
