In 1987, Georg Baselitz brought his unmistakable visual language to Luna Luna, creating flags, posters, and paintings of inverted hands and animals in bold primary colors.

His archival Luna Luna poster features two hands in inverse color schemes reaching toward one another beneath a starry sky. Printed in Europe in 1987 and buried soon after, the poster was discovered in the very first shipping container opened by the Luna Luna team in 2022.
From 1987 to today—an archival discovery brought back to light.

Friedensreich Hundertwasser was an artist, architect, and environmental visionary who transformed the natural world into a lifelong source of inspiration.

For Luna Luna in 1987, Hundertwasser brought his unmistakable artistic language to the world’s first art amusement park.

His contribution reflected the same philosophy that guided his life’s work: a belief that creativity should be playful, immersive, and deeply connected to the natural world.

Basquiat forgeries shake up the art world – and the consequences are felt in Orlando as well as at Luna Luna. The Luna Luna team makes a surprising decision. In spite of the drama, the art amusement park reopens thousands of miles away from its original location, to a new audience in sunny Los Angeles. André and his utopian dream offer an escape from today’s troubles.

André Heller shapes Luna Luna.

It was his mission to unite groundbreaking artists for a one-of-a-kind project. Powered by a ceaseless curiosity and desire to traverse artistic mediums, Heller envisioned Luna Luna as a “total work of art.”

In addition to planning the fair, the artist contributed two iconic attractions, The Dream Station, an inflatable, spiked balloon sculpture that housed a café, and the legendary Wedding Chapel, where guests could marry whomever or whatever they pleased.

Luna Luna continues Heller’s interest in creating fun and entertaining experiences for the masses.

Decades after its initial success, Luna Luna crept back into public consciousness. A group coalesces to revive the lost amusement park, but just as it’s resurrected, André gets caught up in a scandal. It’s unclear whether André, Luna Luna’s creator, will be able to see the project through.

Monika GilSing’s Fabric in Flight.

First imagined as designs in a notebook, Monika GilSing’s 28 fabric-based flags titled “Wind Images” were brought to life at Luna Luna in 1987.

Animated with motifs and characters such as birds and witches, she aimed to imbue her flags with a sense of joy and playfulness.

GilSing, who often creates works for the outdoors, displayed her vibrant flags throughout the fairground for visitors to enjoy as they rippled in the wind.

Visit our History page at lunaluna.com for all you need to know about GilSing’s dynamic flags and more!
