In case you are looking for something to do (with visitors?) in the neighborhood this weekend... the exhibit featuring Kenny Scharf, a pioneer of the street art movement in the 1980s East Village, is underway at the Brant Foundation next month.
FYI details:
... the exhibition brings together over 70 paintings, sculptures, and objects created throughout the artist's expansive career, beginning with works from the late seventies. The survey is compiled from the Brant collections as well as major loans from institutions and private collections, including The Whitney Museum of American Art (New York) and The Broad (Los Angeles).Kenny Scharf is co-curated by Peter M. Brant & Tony Shafrazi in close collaboration with the artist.
Tickets (here) through Dec. 22 are currently available, and the remaining tickets (Dec. 23 – Feb. 28) will be released in the upcoming weeks.
The exhibition will be open Wednesday through Sunday. (Tickets remain for this weekend.)
Tickets are $20, $15 for students, and $15 for East Village residents. Admission is 50% off every Wednesday from 2-6 p.m.
The Brant Foundation's first show at 421 E. Sixth St. between Avenue A and First Avenue in the spring of 2019 featured work by Basquiat — some 70 works collectively valued at $1 billion. Other exhibits include a career-spanning Warhol collection in the spring of 2023.

Well worth a visit to see the paintings IRL, the predictably obsolete boom boxes, telephones and cash registers, the tricked-out car in the gift shop.
From what we’ve heard, a free or steeper senior discount during off hours would be greatly appreciated.
This gallery is offering free tickets via Culture Pass fyi!
Also, they usually do a deeper discount near the end of the gallery exhibit for E.V. residents. Check their website then.
