In SanDiego, artwork featuring the Virgin of Guadalupe riding a surfboard was put up under a train bridge shortly before Easter by artists disguised as construction workers.
Officials contend the piece is graffiti under the law and must be removed. Still, City Council members acknowledge it is stunning, so they hired the art agency to find a way to take it down without destroying it so the piece could be displayed at a local business where the public can continue to view it.
