Tribeca Ball 2022 – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Kenny Scharf has been called “a poster boy for downtown New York art” by The New York Times. He rose to fame in the 1980s, as part of the East Village scene, and his practice spans painting, sculpture, fashion collaborations, album covers, video and performance art. Scharf has been the subject of a dozen solo museum exhibitions, including at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, the Portland Art Museum, and the Pasadena Museum of California Art. In 2020 the documentary “Kenny Scharf: When Worlds Collide” was released. An iconic street artist, Scharf will be unveiling a brand new graffiti mural at the event, created expressly for the Academy.

The New York Academy of Art is pleased to announce this year’s Tribeca Ball will honor artist Kenny Scharf. Presented by Van Cleef & Arpels, the Tribeca Ball showcases the emerging artists of the Academy, with proceeds supporting scholarships and public programming at the school. Serving as Chairs for the evening are theatrical set designer Alba Clemente; Helen King, CEO of Van Cleef & Arpels Americas; Academy board member Brooke Shields and David Totah, whose New York gallery TOTAH will present a solo exhibition by Scharf opening just a few days after the Ball.
