Luna Luna—a 1980s artist-led amusement park featuring works by icons of the art world such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Salvador Dalí, and David Hockney—is experiencing a resurgence of late, what with a new retrospective at The Shed this year, along with a revival of the park itself in Los Angeles late last year.
This 2023 book takes a deeper dive into Luna Luna’s history blending fine art with the playful energy of a carnival—encompassing rides, interactive installations, and surreal sculptures. It comes recommended by associate visuals editor Shani Kravetz, who nods to the book’s breadth of archival media within, from photos to sketches, that are accompanied by behind-the-scenes stories.
