Published to coincide with the exhibition “Kenny Scharf & Keith Haring: K! K!” currently on view at the Nakamura Keith Haring Collection, this is the first book on Kenny Scharf published in Japan.

Featuring primarily images of works presented in the exhibition, the book also includes in-depth interviews conducted at Scharf’s studio in Los Angeles and at the Nakamura Keith Haring Collection.
It offers a comprehensive overview of his activities in Japan, from his first visit in 1985 to the present, while also exploring Scharf’s relationship with Keith Haring and the mutual influence they had on each other’s artistic practices from the museum’s unique perspective.

Kenny Scharf

Kenny Scharf is a central figure in the New York art scene of the 1980s and one of the leading artists in contemporary American art. Part of the same downtown New York milieu as Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, he developed a distinctive visual language drawing on animation, science fiction, and music, moving fluidly across painting, sculpture, video, installation, and performance. Since the 1980s, he has also engaged with environmental issues, consistently producing works that advocate for ecological awareness. Characterized by Technicolor palettes and biomorphic, often otherworldly forms, his work combines humor with a critical edge and continues to receive international acclaim.
