Futura 2000: Breaking Out

Futura’s career grew in tandem with the Bronx Museum, both beginning in the early 1970s. The exhibit draws its name from the street artist’s practice as a whole, as well as his iconic 1980 piece, Break, in which he painted the exterior of a subway car in vibrant colors but without letters—considered a first in the field of graffiti art. In addition to showing sculptures, drawings, prints and studies from his five-decade career, the exhibition features new site-specific temporary installations.
