Good news is the exhibition is now set to open on January 13th. Retitled Expansion, the Brooklyn -based artist plans to display 15 new works created in his abstract realism style for the people in France to enjoy. We caught an early look at the show [...]

Streets: WK Interact – WK Riot (Paris)

Since we last caught up with WK Interact in September for the Project Brave (covered) in New York, we haven’t heard much from the street specialist.

Openings: Takashi Murakami – “Homage to Yves Klein” @ Galerie Perrotin

Last night, Homage to Yves Klein opened at the Galerie Perrotin in Paris.

This deep blue color was used liberally by the Japanese in his flower and skull motifs for this show as well as one of the monochromatic works that was offered in this new body of [...]
