It might not be “press”—as it is on an art gallery website—but it’s a very good article by Michael Carter, whose bio on The New Museum's website reads as follows:
Michael Carter is a poet, writer, performer, and cultural critic, living in New York City. From 1982–92, he was the editor and publisher of the quintessentially East Village literary and arts journal/zine Redtape, and from 1988 to 2003 he was codirector of the MWF Video Club. His poetry and fiction have been published in many magazines and anthologies, including The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry, Up Is Up, But So Is Down: NY’s Downtown Literary Scene, 1974-1992, and From A Terrace in Prague. He is the author of two books of poems, Broken Noses and Metempsychoses (Fly By Night Press, 1996) and On Bolus Head (Cill Rialaig/En Garde Books, 2012)—poems and prints in collaboration with artist Brian Gormley. He was also lyricist and vocalist for the performance/rock band The Vacuum Bag (1985–96).

EV Grieve is an East Village blog that seeks to memorialize NYC historical sites, individual histories, etc. This entry focused on a fence Coraggio created in the late ’80s in collaboration with two other artists. It still stands on 1st Ave. and 6th St.
Note that it is only the anonymous commenter who identifies the work as Coraggio’s and adds how “famus” Coraggio is.
