Gallerist, Chantal Helenbeck says, The street art movement was home grown in New York. It is real, it has meaning and it has credibility. It is America’s art history and personal story, which is why I decided to hold this exhibition in its home roots of New York. Since New York in the 1970′s, this movement has become a global phenomenon. These individuals may have started on the street but they have developed into great studio artists and it is important that their talent and recognition is seen and documented within the art world.

The Hudson Yards Development Corporation is pleased to lend this space to the Galerie Helenbeck for this exhibit. HYDC is dedicated to transforming this neighborhood from an underperforming industrial area into a thriving, 18 hour mixed use community that will welcome artists, residents, workers and tourists.
