  • 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.
