Admission is free for the last two days on Thursday and Friday.
This was said to be the first institutional show for Scharf, who made a name for himself in the 1980s East Village art scene alongside one-time roommate Keith Haring and others.
The Brant show spans several floors and includes 70 pieces of his vibrant work from the late 1970s to the early 2000s.
A few faves... "Self-Portrait With Cadillac" with his signature intergalactic motif (1979)...
... "Escaped in Time ... I'm Pleased" (1979)...
..."Kembra in Prettyland"...
... "Udo by the Sea"...
And in the gift shop — Scharf's 1961 Cadillac Coupe de Ville, which is not for sale...
And if you haven't been to the Brant Foundation before, be sure to check out the view to the north from the back of the fourth floor... 
The Brant Foundation is at 421 E. Sixth St. between Avenue A and First Avenue.
Exhibit hours: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tickets are 50% off tomorrow (Wednesday), making them $7.50 for East Village residents. There's free admission on Thursday and Friday. You can secure a spot here.
Scharf, a California native, has lived in Los Angeles for the past two decades. Learn more about his work at this link.
