Luna Luna: Forgotten Fantasy invites visitors into a colorful, riotous fun house of carnival attractions by visionary artists of the 20th century, including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Sonia Delaunay, Keith Haring, David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein, and more.
The brainchild of artist André Heller, Luna Luna first opened in 1987 in Hamburg, Germany, as a spectacular fairground. And then, by a twist of fate, the park’s treasures were forgotten in storage in Texas for 36 years. With a blockbuster showing in Los Angeles in December 2023, Luna Luna: Forgotten Fantasy resurrected these artworks, to audiences’ delight.
Now, the showcase arrives at The Shed, creating a can’t-be-missed event in NYC. The Shed’s presentation—installed in the soaring, iconic McCourt space and Level 2 Gallery—will include special performances and concert events. Featured artists include Jean-Michel Basquiat, Arik Brauer, Salvador Dalí, Sonia Delaunay, Monika GilSing, Keith Haring, André Heller, David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein, and Kenny Scharf.
With your admission to Luna Luna, enjoy access to the Butterfly Bar in The Overlook on Level 4—a perfect vantage point with panoramic views of The McCourt featuring never-before-seen artworks from all of Luna Luna’s contributing artists. Take in the sights of Basquiat’s painted Ferris wheel, Arik Brauer’s Carousel, Kenny Scharf’s painted chair swing, David Hockney’s Enchanted Tree, and more as you sip, munch, unwind, and take in the full Luna Luna experience.
