Above Ground Midtown: MCNY x DAZE – Live Graffiti Art at 550 Madison

The Olayan Group and The Museum of the City of New York (MCNY) present Above Ground Midtown: MCNY x DAZE, a new exhibition featuring two newly commissioned artworks by acclaimed artist Chris “DAZE” Ellis. The paintings will be created onsite in public view at 550 Madison’s south retail space on the corner of 55th Street and Madison Avenue, which features soaring, 60-foot ceilings and windows on three sides. Presented in conjunction with Above Ground: Art from the Martin Wong Graffiti Collection, currently on view at MCNY, 550 Madison will feature two large-scale paintings in which DAZE seeks to evoke the beautiful chaos of New York City, drawing on inspiration from the building and its adjacent public garden.
