Luna Luna Revived in LA Through May 12

All late 80s art lovers must be rejoicing at Luna Luna’s revival in LA as Luna Luna: Forgotten Fantasy. The revival features work from Keith Haring, David Hockney, Rebecca Horn, Roy Lichtenstein, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Sonia Delaunay, Monika GilSing and more! NPR wrote about Luna Luna and the revival Forgotten Fantasy:

If you visited Hamburg, Germany, in the summer of 1987, you might have been one of the lucky 250,000 people to attend Luna Luna. It was a carnival designed by some of the most famous artists of the 20th century.

Visitors got to ride a small Ferris wheel adorned with drawings by Jean-Michel Basquiat. They could waltz inside a cylindrical pavilion created by David Hockney. They could wind through Roy Lichtenstein’s pop art glass labyrinth, with music by Philip Glass; Fairgoers could also walk inside a mirrored geodesic dome decorated by surrealist Salvador DalĂ­, and they could ride a carousel painted with bright graffiti figures spray painted by Keith Haring.

Now, thanks to the rapper Drake, his studios and some investment partners, Luna Luna has been revived in Los Angeles.
