Luna Luna is the name of a project that the artist and poet André Heller realized in Hamburg, Germany, in 1987. Luna Luna can be seen as the word’s first art amusement park with rides, games, and attractions by artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, David Hockney, Sonia Delaunay, Rebecca Horn and Roy Lichtenstein. After the end of the show in Hamburg, there were plans for a European tour or a sale to Vienna. However, these plans could not be realized. By a twist of fate, the park’s treasures were soon sealed in 44 shipping containers and forgotten in Texas — until now. Parts of Luna Luna are now on view in huge warehouse in Downtown Los Angeles. This video provides you with a tour of the show.
