Kenny Scharf initially made his mark on the New York art scene in the late 1970s with a series of group shows at the infamous Club 57, alongside other pioneering artists such as Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Scharf's vibrant works reference everything from pop art and pop culture to abstract expressionism and staunch environmentalism. His paintings challenge long-standing stereotypes of monumental painting and muralism, while joyfully accomplishing the artist's stated purpose to "bring art into everyday life." Kenny Scharf: A Cosmic Survey is the first comprehensive book highlighting one of America's most compelling and prolific artists. This bright and dynamic catalogue details the artist's career from the late 1970s through the present, includinghis work in painting, sculpture, video, and installation. Scharf emerges as a protean, if under-recognized figure, whose 40-year career bridges multiple eras, from the postmodern new figuration of the 1980s to the lasting popularity of street art today. This collection includes never-before-seen works from the artist, as well as new interviews with Scharf and Pop artist Ed Ruscha. With over two hundred illustrations, this vibrant and comprehensivecatalog will provide essential new insight into Scharf's brilliant career.
