Sounds like a steal. According to antonellapavese.com:
The mural is titled “We the Youth” and was painted in 1987 in celebration of the bicentennial of the US Constitution; it was recently restored and the tiny garden in front of the mural was redesigned.
It appears this mural has been threatened for a while. I was surprised I couldn’t find it on the official Keith Haring site. CORRECTION: The Keith Haring Foundation has notified us that it is found on the site here.
The mural does appear on the Haring.com site, here:

Collaborative mural with Citykids, 1987, exterior mural
22nd and Ellsworth, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Thanks, very helpful but why did it now show up in the search or why is it not listed in chronology?
Any chance the Foundation will try to buy this property or preserve the mural?
like 25 years and NO over-tagging? that alone makes it historic.
You don’t normally have to pay property taxes on your art collection. Art collectors want an asset. That Haring is a liability.
