A landmark book documenting the first-ever art amusement park – launched in 1987 in Hamburg, Germany – in anticipation of its global reintroduction Wet Paint Wet Paint in the Wild: Dealer Bridget Finn Travels From Detroit to New York to Watch Her Charity Auction at Christie’s In 1987, Heller released book Luna Luna, published by Wilhelm Heyne Verlag in Munich, which features all of the attractions. For the book cover, Heller asked the participating artists to draw a moon and add a sentence they found fitting. [3] Visitors could get a little lost inside Salvador Dalí’s mirrored fun house and spin around on a Keith Haring carousel. They could take in the view from atop a dazzling Jean-Michel Basquiat Ferris wheel while listening to Miles Davis. They might’ve gazed up at wandering stilt walkers, been trapped in an invisible box with a mime, or perhaps even met the man in the moon (a David Bowie-esque character wearing a handmade four-foot-tall crescent moon).This multicolored entrance archway to the park was designed by Ukrainian-born artist Sonia Delaunay shortly before her death. The painter may not be as famous as some of the other Luna Luna artists, but in 1964, the Louvre’s retrospective of her work was the first ever held at the museum for a living female artist. Sabina Sarnitz, courtesy Luna Luna LLC Born in New York in 1960, self-taught artist Jean-Michel Basquiat became one of the 20th century’s most significant artists. He only agreed to design this Ferris wheel for Luna Luna after Heller got permission to use Miles Davis’s 1986 song “Tutu,” which played during the ride. Sabina Sarnitz, courtesy Phaidon
