For Luna Luna art amusement park in 1987, Kenny Scharf, a key figure in the 1980s East Village art scene, Scharf created a group of towering hieroglyphic-like painted wood characters. The characters, each standing 10 to 12 feet tall, lined an area called Sculpture Avenue. This one-eyed grinning blue figure is called BLUMAMA.
