The iconic pop surrealist artist Mark Ryden designed the costumes and set for the American Ballet Theater’s Whipped Cream. From an interview with Juxtapoz magazine about the ballet, Ryden stated that “The whole time I worked on it, I had in mind that I would also have an exhibition of my paintings and drawings from the project.” The last showing of the ballet took place yesterday in NYC, but Ryden’s dreamy art from the production will on display at the Paul Kasmin Gallery until July 21st.
