What You Need to Know: Since its nascent years in the 1970s and ‘80s, Street Art has gone from city streets to museum walls, and what was once considered vandalism can now bring sky-high auction prices. “From the Street” at Miami’s Rosenfeld Gallery traces the transformation of the style over the decades through works by Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf, Futura 2000, Banksy, and KAWS. 

Why We Like It: The exhibition charts an eclectic course from 1950s pop-influenced paintings by Kenny Scarf from the 1950s to a lime green circular disk by KAWS, as well as a few whimsical sculptures, including a Flintstones lamp by Scharf. The backbone of the exhibition is made up of works by Keith Haring, including a mural the artist spray-painted on a barricade at the Pittsburgh Glass Company.

According to the Gallery: “From subways, trains, abandoned buildings, found debris and objects; to plywood used to protect a construction site, you name it: their canvas is the street. Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, Futura 2000 are early trailblazers of Street Art; followed by Banksy and Kaws who are considered icons. Our exhibition shows different works of art by these artists charting the course from being considered graffiti and vandalism to part of art history.”
