Kenny Scharf
American · 1958
Kenny Scharf emerged from the same vibrant early-1980s East Village scene as Basquiat and Haring, developing a joyful 'Pop Surrealism' of cartoon-inflected figures, cosmic scenes and saturated color. His work bridges street energy and fine-art tradition, and his paintings, prints and editions enjoy steady demand from collectors drawn to the era. His large-scale canvases and screenprints have drawn renewed attention as interest in the 1980s East Village scene continues to grow. Rosenfeld Gallery, which has exhibited Scharf alongside his contemporaries, handles secondary-market works across paintings, works on paper and editions.
