Drake opens LA amusement park featuring Basquiat artwork

Located in the 55,000-square- ^foot warehouse complex at Ace Mission Studios in downtown Los Angeles, USA, Luna Luna: Forgotten Fantasy is a reimagining of a nearly 40-year-old concept park filled with rare works of art spearheaded by American singer Drake and his creative studio DreamCrew. With a budget of $100 million, the new Luna Luna will feature installations, rides and performances ranging from a pavilion called the Enchanted Tree by painter David Hockney, to a carousel by artist Keith Haring and a Ferris wheel by Jean Michel Basquiat. Sonia Delaunay, Salvador Dalí, Rebecca Horn, Kenny Scharf and Roy Lichtenstein are just some of the other artists involved in the original project, whose works have been restored for a 2024 audience.

Luna Luna was an amusement park created in 1987 in Hamburg , Germany, by Austrian artist André Heller. The project survived for an entire summer as an art museum and amusement park, including works by 30 of the most famous artists of the time , who contributed to and customized classic theme park rides. After its heyday, Luna Luna's attractions were dismantled and plans to exhibit them internationally were canceled due to budgetary concerns.
