February 25th, Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld and Andy Valmorbida, in collaboration with Giorgio Armani hosted a star studded exhibition opening for “Richard Hambleton—New York” at the Armani / Teatro in Milan, Italy. Richard Hambleton’s works will be available for public viewing and for purchase beginning March 1st, and running through March 12th.
At the exhibition, legendary New York-based street artist Richard Hambleton’s first European solo exhibition since 1985, “Richard Hambleton—New York”, debuted at the Armani Teatro in Milan, Italy. Curated by Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld and Andy Valmorbida, in collaboration with Giorgio Armani, the exhibition features over 45 original paintings, including 15 never-before-seen works.
Richard Hambleton rose to fame in the early 1980’s when like his contemporaries, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, he used the streets of New York as his canvas for visually arresting public art, most notably his “Shadowman” and “Crime Scene” series. Hambleton has been labeled “The Godfather Of Street Art.”
His works can be found in the permanent collections of The MoMA, the Brooklyn Museum, The Houston Museum of Fine Art, The Check Point Charlie Museum and The Zellermeyer in Berlin, the Andy Warhol Museum, the Austin Museum of Art, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the New Museum of Contemporary Art, the Queens Museum, and Harvard University. He was chosen for the Venice Biennale in 1984.
