Art in the Streets
Art in the Streets was an exhibition held at the
Sao Paulo with a focus on Los Angeles.[1] It was supposed to travel to the Brooklyn Museum from March 30 to July 8, 2012. The exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum was cancelled because of financial difficulties.[2]
By some estimates, it was the most attended exhibition in the MOCA LA's history.[3]
Artists in the exhibition included: Barry McGee, Lee Quinones, Os Gêmeos, Banksy, Shepard Fairey, TAKI 183, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Chaz Bojórquez, ROA, JR, RISK, Rammellzee, Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf, Angel Ortiz, Gusmano Cesaretti and others.[4][5][6]
In early December 2010 Italian street artist
antiwar theme might be deemed offensive, the museum had it painted over within a day, and anonymous fellow artists avenged themselves by putting up posters of Deitch as an ayatollah holding a paint roller.[8]
