Historic Graffiti found in Manhattan Building..

A detail is seen on a graffiti wall with drawings by original graffiti subway artists Fab Five Freddy, Futura 2000 and some traces by Jean-Michel Basquiat Tuesday, Nov. 27, 2007, in New York. The large mural, created by some of graffiti's earliest pioneers, was discovered recently in a 10-story limestone building just as developers were converting it into luxury condominiums.

The mural will be publicly unveiled Thursday as part of a retrospective exhibit of the graffiti art movement (1980-1985). Running until Feb. 15 in the SoHo building's Gallery 151, "The Wild Style Exhibit" takes its name from the iconic 1982 hip-hop movie.

The show will display works of graffiti's greats: Keith Haring, Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, Ero and Fab 5. All come from private collections, many unseen since the 1980s, including Scharf's "Palladium, a mural canvas created for the reincarnated Palladium Music Hall and Disco, and Basquiat's portrait of Fab 5 Freddy.
