Born in New York City in 1955, Futura 2000 (Leonard Hilton McGurr) emerged as one of the pioneering graffiti artists of the 1970s, tagging subway cars and Bowery walls, and showing works alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring at the pivotal 1980 Times Square show.
Author of a visionary body of work, Futura is known for being one of the first graffiti artists to ever depart from lettering in the early 1980s and turn to abstraction. His famous work Break, painted over the entire length of a New York subway car in 1980, constitutes a major milestone.
