About Pgh Murals

This started out as a duo: Bananas and Baby Kong. Two works of art by two different artists combined to create a great piece. James Simon did Baby Kong, a gorilla sculpture peeking over a fence. Originally Kate Bechak added Bananas – a mural of a huge mound of bananas piled outside the gate. They went together like peanut butter and jelly.
Over the years, Bananas became a victim of the weather and in 2015 it was replaced. While the new mural includes a banana, Alejandro Fiez did not try to duplicate what had been there. We haven't found the title for the new mural yet.
They're all part of the Art on Gist Street project.
