Kosmic Krylon Garage

By Pasadena Museum of California Art

In summer 2004, "Kenny Scharf: California Grown"
opened at the Pasadena Museum of California Art as the Museum’s first tri-level
exhibition—with paintings, bronze sculptures, a screening of "The
Groovenians" (Scharf's animated series for Cartoon Network), and the
transformation of the parking garage into the Kosmic Krylon Garage.
Post-exhibition, Scharf's colorful, whimsical murals spray-painted over the
course of a week remained on the walls and continue on as the Museum's only
permanent installation. The Kosmic Krylon Garage is on view during regular
operating hours.
