Kenny Scharf’s Autumn in New York: The Return of an 80s Street Art Legend
Kenny Scharf’s Autumn in New York: The Return of an 80s Street Art Legend
Scharf is the only surviving member of what he once called the “Three Musketeers” of the 1980s downtown scene. Basquiat died of a drug overdose at 27 in 1988 and Haring succumbed to AIDS-related complications at 31 in 1990. And though he has long since quit the Lower East Side, Scharf’s legacy there is being revisited in a new show now open at Totah Gallery, a major retrospective that opens in November at the Brant Foundation, and the November opening of Luna Luna: Forgotten Fantasy, the art amusement park that features rides and attractions created by Scharf, Basquiat, Haring, Salvador Dalí, David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein and others at The Shed in Hudson Yards.

Kristopher Hull’s Coupling of Street Art and Chopin
Kristopher Hull’s Coupling of Street Art and Chopin
Over the last year, Hull has brought classical music to painting projects and events by some of New York’s top street art talent: Shepard Fairey, Chris RWK, Tito Ferrara, Lexi Bella, Jerkface, LeCrue Eyebrows, Vewer, Jim Tozzi, to mention a few. He has performed at some of the city’s most important street art venues like Freeman Alley, First Street Green Art Park and the Park Avenue Tunnel. He has played at art show openings and, at least once, at a tragic closing: the recent demolition of the outlaw 188 Allen Street Gallery.
