About
A big name on the street art scene of 1980s New York, Futura 2000 (real name Leonard McGurr) exhibited his work with Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, as well as apparently briefly dating Madonna. Known for his abstract designs featuring the Pointman and repeating atom symbols, he’s collaborated with James Lavelle and The Clash, and remains a street art icon thanks to collabs with big brands including Supreme and Nike.
