Street Art ♥

Masters from the 1970s NYC graf movement (Blade, Crash, Daze, Jonone, Quik, Lee Quinones, Rammellzee, Sharp) and European art stars (Victor Ash, Banksy, Blek le Rat, Ikon, Sozyone, Plateus) are among 19 painters, sculptors and photographers showing contemporary works in “WHOLE IN THE WALL: 1970 – NOW”. It’s an unprecedented, museum-quality, 150-piece exploration of street art’s ongoing transition to, yes, fine art. The pieces are all original and rare; most are new; many were finished onsite in the past few weeks. Helenbeck Gallery - May 29 - June 27, 529-535 West 35th Street.
