Futura 2000 (1955) - Broken Clock, large original painting, 2011
This canvas painting by Futura was created in 2011 and belongs to the same body of work that was exhibited at Galerie Jérôme de Noirmont in Paris in 2012.
Featuring a dark and powerful palette punctuated with touches of red and orange, the composition is built around an atmospheric surface crossed by sinuous, lightning-like lines. While echoing elements of lyrical abstraction, the painting remains firmly rooted in Futura’s distinctive visual language and painterly approach.
• Signed, titled and dated on the back
• Provenance: Galerie Jérôme de Noirmont, Paris
• 137 × 137 cm, framed in a black shadow box frame size 141 x 141 x 6 cm

Futura (Leonard Hilton McGurr, born 1955 in New York) is a true icon of the graffiti scene and global street culture. Active since the late 1970s, he was one of the first to push graffiti into abstraction at a time when writing and lettering dominated. As part of the New York pioneers, he painted alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, and Dondi, and even collaborated with The Clash in the 1980s.
Over the decades, Futura has built a unique universe, embodied by his cult figures (Pointman, Nosferatu) and his canvases that translate a strong and instantly recognizable graphic vocabulary. His influence goes far beyond the art world: he is also a lifestyle and fashion icon, with collaborations ranging from Nike to Louis Vuitton, Virgil Abloh, Uniqlo, Kenzo, and Medicom Toy for his collectible figures.
Today, his impact remains significant in the United States, Asia, and Europe. A major exhibition has been dedicated to him in 2025 at La Fab – Le Lab, agnès b.’s foundation in Paris, confirming his status as a major and visionary artist in contemporary urban art.
