While most of the news pertaining to art is emanating out of Miami at the moment, Los Angeles has offered a follow-up to this year’s monumental Art in the Streets exhibit. Done in collaboration with Vanity Fair and Cadillac, and in partnership with the MOCA and the City of West Hollywood, this murals project at the WeHo Library features works from Shepard Fairey, Kenny Scharf and Retna. Although this was unveiled back in October, it seems to have went under the radar, so we figured we would share some news in regards to it. Be sure to check the video featuring the artists involved below, as well as some images in our gallery.

Take a look at some photos after the click.

“One initiative of The Cosmopolitan’s art program is Wallworks which began in the hotel’s parking garage and is extending slowly into other public spaces. Wallworks finds a crew of well known street artists – Shepard, Scharf, Retna, et al – adding flare to a mutating gallery space.”

We take another look at the evolving Houston Street mural by artist Kenny Scharf. It is coming together beautiful. More images of the current state can be found here.

Kenny Scharf is the latest artist to work an ephemeral mural at Houston and Bowery. He follows the Keith Haring tribute (fitting, as Scharf was a close friend of Haring’s), Os Gemeos, Shepard Fairey, and Barry McGee.

This weekend we checked out the latest progression of the mural, which looks to be turning out quite impressive.
