Post lot text

D’abord peintre clandestin des rues de New York, puis exposé sur les murs de galeries aux côtés de Keith Haring et Jean-Michel Basquiat, Futura 2000 est l’une des voix majeures du street art américain. Présenté dès 1981 au PS1 Contemporary Art Center pour "New York/ New Wave", il gagne progressivement en reconnaissance et étend sa présence aux institutions internationales telles que la Fondation Cartier, le Palais de Tokyo ou la Tate Modern. En collaborant avec des marques de luxe comme Nike, Supreme ou Comme des Garçons, sa pratique acquiert une visibilité nouvelle. Futura 2000 réalise, grâce à un graffiti qui va au-delà du simple lettrage, des pièces futuristes agencées dans des associations de couleurs inédites.

Initially an underground painter on the streets of New York, then exhibited on gallery walls alongside Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, Futura 2000 is one of the major voices of American street art. Presented in 1981 at the PS1 Contemporary Art Center for “New York/ New Wave,” he gradually gained recognition and extended his presence to international institutions such as the Fondation Cartier, the Palais de Tokyo and the Tate Modern. By collaborating with luxury brands such as Nike, Supreme or Comme des Garçons, his practice acquired a new visibility. Thanks to a graffiti that goes beyond simple lettering, Futura creates futuristic pieces arranged in original colour combinations.
