Peter Pan Posse
The Whitney Museum’s American Art’s Jeff Koons exhibit has been vandalized for a second time.
Christopher Johnson was busted early Sunday after allegedly spray-painting a large scrawl on a wall at the Upper East Side museum.
The incident took place at 12:30 a.m., during a 36-hour event marking the end of the artist’s retrospective and the Whitney’s temporary closure to move downtown.
Johnson was said to be part of the Peter Pan Posse, described by a member as an art collective “deeply rooted in nonconformity.”
He faces charges of making graffiti, criminal mischief and possession of graffiti instruments.
The exhibit was also targeted in August, when a Canadian performance artist splattered a red substance on a wall. Istvan Kantor was taken to New York Hospital Aug. 21 for evaluation and released without charges.
No art was damaged in either incident.
