All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jun 25, 2021

Malia Scharf and Max Basch join us to discuss making the documentary, "Kenny Scharf: When Worlds Collide." Malia is Kenny's daughter and in the film, the directors take viewers on a journey through the art world of the 1980s when Kenny Scarf met and befriended Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Along the way, viewers come to understand Scharf's iconic pop art style in a new light. The film comes out in theaters June 25.
