“Luna Luna: Forgotten Fantasy” -- a colorful, riotous fun house of carnival attractions by visionary artists of the 20th century, including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Sonia Delaunay, Keith Haring, David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein, Kenny Scharf, and Salvador Dali -- will open at The Shed (545 West 30th Street) on November 20.
The Shed’s mostly immersive presentation of this exhibition — to be installed in the soaring, iconic McCourt space and Level 2 Gallery — will also include special performances and concert events.
The brainchild of artist André Heller, “Luna Luna” first opened in 1987 in Hamburg, Germany, as a spectacular fairground. However, the park’s treasures were forgotten in storage in Texas for 36 years. A blockbuster showing in Los Angeles in December 2023 resurrected these extraordinary artworks.
