Back in 2009 and then 2011, Tim Burton‘s artwork was featured in shows at New York’s Museum of Modern Art and LA’s LACMA, and up next he’s bringing his talents to Las Vegas!
As reported by Las Vegas Weekly, Burton’s first U.S. art exhibit in nearly a decade will take over Downtown’s Neon Museum from October 15, 2019 – February 15, 2020.
Tim Burton @ The Neon Museum “will feature new and previously displayed large-scale work by the celebrated filmmaker, animator and author, and will be staged in such a way as to take full advantage of the Neon Museum’s combination of indoor and outdoor spaces. The show, a site-specific collaboration between the Museum and Burton, will allow the filmmaker to reflect on his creative legacy while showing his love for the Neon Boneyard, which he popularized during a memorable sequence in his 1996 comedy Mars Attacks.”
“To say we’re flattered that Mr. Burton has chosen our museum for this exhibition would be an understatement,” said Neon Museum president and CEO Rob McCoy. “But when you think about it, Tim is one of the few artists who can match the great imagination of Las Vegas.”
