The Helenbeck Gallery plays host to the largest exhibition of street art with “Whole in the Wall from 1970 – Now.” Featuring 15 artists, four photographers, and two sculptors, the show brings the work of artists Victor Ash, Banksy, Blade, Blek le Rat, Crash, Daze, Ikon, Jonone, Nunca, Plateus, Quik, Lee Quinones, Rammellzee, Sharp, Sozyone, Henry Chalfant, Martha Cooper, Jamel Shabazz, Silvio Magaglio to the birthplace of street art, New York City.
“The street art movement was home grown in New York. It is real, it has meaning and it has credibility,” says gallerist Chantal Helenbeck in the press release.
The exhibit places the work alongside antique furniture and art to really bring out the contrast and the movement of street art from taboo into the art world.
Helenbeck adds, “It is America’s art history and personal story, which is why I decided to hold this exhibition in its home roots of New York. Since New York in the 1970’s, this movement has become a global phenomenon.
