Art like Kenny Scharf: original street-art & urban works to collect
Kenny Scharf (1958) ranks #103 in the Artprice 2023 contemporary art market report — among the world's most sought-after living artists. An original Kenny Scharf is out of reach for most collectors, but you can collect original street-art works in a kindred spirit at L'Original.
The street-art & urban spirit
Street and urban art grows out of graffiti, stencils and the wall: bold colour, fast gesture, graphic impact and a direct, public voice. It carries raw energy from the city into the home, and it is the living tradition L'Original was built to champion.
Collecting street-art & urban art
When collecting street art, look for originals (canvas, panel or works on paper) over open-edition prints, a clear provenance, and a signature or certificate. Condition matters with spray and mixed media, and scale drives impact — a single bold piece often anchors a whole room.
