I think we’re actually built better than any other resource to make this a reality,” Gonzales told NYT. “We exist in live events, we exist in culture, we understand the art world and being artist-friendly.”And now, for the first time, the English translation of the original text published about the event had been made available. LUNA LUNA: The Art Amusement Park, published by Phaidon, includes a preface by creator and author André Heller. Aside from photographs of the installation, the book also includes the moon graphics and short text that each artist was asked to create for the promotion of the event. Thankfully, those works have now been dusted off and can be viewed once again. There seems to be an inexhaustible hunger for details on Haring’s sadly truncated life. Last month Phaidon published Luna Luna, André Heller’s book looking at the ’80s art theme park in Hamburg to which Haring was a key contributor. Currently the New York Public Library has more than 100 books in its archive featuring Keith Haring in the title. While critics may believe his estate is all too free and easy with licensing, there’s clearly a demand and an appreciation for the work, and there’s evidence to suggest this was exactly what he wanted. Embark on a rare visual journey that meticulously documents the works through the artists’ processes and their original sketches ... Break out your spandex, leg warmers, and neon big hair accessories, and join Phaidon on this whimsical visual ride.' – Forbes Gruen, John (1992). Keith Haring: The Authorized Biography. Simon and Schuster. p.175. ISBN 978-0-671-78150-7. Luna Luna, which also featured interactive installations, games, and artist performances, was born from Heller’s belief that “art should come in unconventional guises and be brought to those who might not ordinarily seek it out in more predictable settings.”

A landmark book documenting the first-ever art amusement park – launched in 1987 in Hamburg, Germany – in anticipation of its global reintroduction Buchhart, Dieter (2016). Jean-Michel Basquiat (PDF). Translated by Brian Currid. Holzhausen, Austria: W&K - Wienerroither & Kohlbacher, Vienna / New York. The revolutionary collaboration of interdisciplinary artists, spanning twentieth-century art movements including Abstraction, Art Brut, Dada, Fluxus, Neo-Expressionism, Nouveau Réalisme, Pop Art, Surrealism, and Viennese Actionism, transcended any effort since to achieve artistic amusement. In an age of “immersive experiences,” which are often just popular projections of images in cavernous spaces, Luna Luna was ahead of its time and never rivaled. As of November 2022, the original Luna Luna works are being restored and new works being commissioned for a global tour funded by DreamCrew. [2] History [ edit ] Born in New York in 1960, self-taught artist Jean-Michel Basquiat became one of the 20th century’s most significant artists. He only agreed to design this Ferris wheel for Luna Luna after Heller got permission to use Miles Davis’s 1986 song “Tutu,” which played during the ride. Sabina Sarnitz, courtesy PhaidonLuna Luna was only displayed once at the Moorweide in Hamburg from June 4 to August 31, 1987. [11] The entry fee was 20 Deutsche Marks (children free on weekdays). [5] The exhibition had been expected to travel to the Netherlands later in 1987 and then the United States in 1988. [7] In 1991, it was reported that Luna Luna, described as an outdoor contemporary art museum, would be temporarily installed at Balboa Park's Inspiration Point in San Diego, California. [4] It was scheduled to be in San Diego for 18 months as a gift from the Stephen and Mary Birch Foundation, based in Wilmington, Delaware.
