About the Item

Vintage 1984 Kenny Scharf Exhibition Poster: Original Kenny Scharf illustrated exhibition poster published by Tony Shafrazi Gallery in conjunction with the Fun Gallery, New York, NY 1984. Fun, cool, vibrant original 1980s pop art without breaking the bank. Medium: Offset Lithograph, 1984. Dimensions: 23 x 24.75 inches (folded open). Condition: Fold-lines as issued; good overall vintage condition. Muralist, painter, sculptor, and installation artist Kenny Scharf (American, b. 1958) is best known for his fantastical, large-scale paintings of anthropomorphic animals and imagined creatures. Though Scharf’s brightly colored imagery is generally playful, he has remarked that darker themes exist beneath the surface of his works, visible upon closer inspection. Scharf was a part of the 1980s East Village Art movement, along with his good friend and fellow street artist Keith Haring. The artist says he has been influenced by all 20th-century art movements, including Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art, the latter reflected in his appropriation of cartoon characters from television shows like the Flintstones and Jetsons. Scharf’s oftentimes dense and frenetic compositions also echo a Baroque sensibility.

Rivers would have certainly been aware of the work of Stuart Davis and his 1921 painting...
