Kenny Scharf was born in Hollywood. His work is instantly recognizable,
with idiosyncratic cartoon creatures popping up in the oddest of
places: in paintings, on functional objects, or piled up on top of each
other to form huge totem poles. Scharf shot to prominence in New York
during the 80s as part of the deeply influential generation of artists
that emerged at that time. He was part of an East Village trio with
Keith Haring, his studio mate, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. His artwork
has been exhibited extensively and can be found in numerous
international museum collections including The Guggenheim Museum and
The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, The Eli Broad
Foundation in Los Angeles and The Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Kenny Scharf is represented by Paul Kasmin Gallery - 293 Tenth Ave. New
York, NY 10001 and 511 27th Street, New York, NY 10001 -
