In this article about go-to Murals and Street Art in Europe, also the Keith Haring in Amsterdam is highlighted.

In 2015 it was my pleasure to start the lobby for conservation and to see it become reality in 2018 was great. The mural was conserved by master conservator Antonio Rava, with whom I did 2 more projects afterward: the Dr. Rat mural in Amsterdam Zuid and the Phase2 mural in Amsterdam Centrum.

Despite of our happiness about bringing the Keith Haring back to the people, Antonio Rava and I are deeply concerned about the state of neglect the building had to face post- conservation. The building has not yet been redeveloped. It has been empty and victim to the powers of the elements: sun, wind, water, but especially the moist. For some years the window spaces were left uncovered. In 2025 one can clearly see new salt/moist spots on the wall that have appeared after the conservation.

The building was given a monumental status. It is not clear when renovation-redevelopment will take place.
