Tag: Kenny Scharf

Kenny Scharf is the last living member of the most famous trio of street artists ever to come out of the East Village scene in the '80s which included him, Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose works are also on display in this historic show now in its final weeks. This psychedelic phantasmagoria of found objects ranging from a mirrored disco ball to a 45-turntable to hollowed out TV sets, electric guitars, dinosaur toys, plastic robots and so much more—all spray-painted luxuriantly with Day-Glo fluorescent colors and lit by black lights—has to be experienced at least once to be believed.
