With roots in 1980s graffiti culture, the
subversive and cult-like art form is still relatively unknown.
Pharrell has pledged to donate his time to support the exhibition and raise awareness, even donating pieces from his personal collection for the duration of the show.
The toys are highly collectible objects, often
selling from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars.
