Cult-followed and fashion staple Supreme has been in the news quite a bit in the past week, first with a huge spread in the NY Times, and now they will have a skate deck retrospective exhibition at the 032c Workshop in Berlin opening Saturday, December 1. The deck collaboration series for Supreme has seen some of the biggest names in contemporary art stop in for a few deck designs: Damien Hirst, George Condo, Takashi Murakami, Richard Prince, KAWS, Marilyn Minter, and Futura, to name a few.

The end of year brings us to our closing issue of 2012, and who better than London-based Conor Harrington to grace the cover for a second time (scoring at home, October 2008 was his first cover). We lean heavily on painters and fine artists this issue with pieces on Nicola Verlato, Futura, Julie Heffernan, Marco Mazzoni, Grady Gordon, and Gregory Euclide, plus conversations with Jen Stark, Bob Dob, and a photo essay from the heart of Johannesburg.

As we have noted on the site a few weeks back, NYC standard and graffiti legend FUTURA opened a new show, Future Shock, his first in his native city in over 12 years. Curated by Nemo Librizzi and located at 560 Washington Street, Ivory Serra went to the opening for Juxtapoz to see the huge crowds and FUTURA himself.

Andy Valmorbida is pleased to present FUTURE SHOCK, the first New York solo exhibition of new paintings by FUTURA in over a decade, curated by Nemo Librizzi. The exhibition opens at 560 Washington Street, New York City on Thursday, September 6, 2012 from 6 PM – 9 PM, in collaboration with Bombardier Aerospace, RVCA Artist Network Program and VistaJet.

Last weekend, we attended the opening of the legendary FUTURA 2000 at Galerie Jerome de Noirmont in Paris. Futura 2012—Expansions features 15 new paintings created in 2011, with Futura himself notes, "explore the realm of the ABSTRACT and spontaneous."

A few weeks back, we previewed NYC-based graffiti and fine artist FUTURA 2000's newest solo show, Futura 2012—Expansions, at Paris' Galerie Jerome de Noirmont. Today, we show you a new video produced in conjunction with the exhibition, a slick piece created by Guillotine.

Graffiti legend and contemporary artist, Futura recently opened his newest exhibition Expansions at Galerie Jerome De Noirmont in Paris.  A true pioneer and style innovator of his generation, who’s work transitions gracefully to canvas.  IF you’re in Paris go take a look.

Across fine art, graffiti, and fashion circles, Futura 2000's name is synonymous with legendary and influential. We just obtained a few preview images of Futura's new exhibition, Futura 2012—Expansions, opening at Paris' Galerie Jerome de Noirmont on January 13, 2012.

After we checked out the Wynwood Walls compound and surrounding epicenter of street art and murals during Art Basel week, we checked out the Wynwood Walls group exhibition that featured some great works from Liqen, Nunca, Interesni Kazki, Retna, Shepard Fairey, Futura, How & Nosm, Saner, Aiko, Jeff Soto and others.
