Drake has pledged $100m (£84m) of his fortune to assist the reboot of an artwork carnival which featured work by Keith Haring, David Hockney and Roy Lichtenstein in 1987.
Luna Luna was an open-air museum and amusement park which opened to guests in Hamburg, Germany from 4 June to 31 August 1987.
Austrian artist André Heller collaborated with 32 artists who created vibrant and unique sculptures and installations for the challenge.
Jean-Michel Basquiat designed a Ferris wheel composed of his drawings, whereas Haring created a carousel painted along with his iconic cartoon characters and symbols.
British artist Hockney created an enchanted forest set up on a short lived pavilion building.
The amusement park was because of tour round Europe after its profitable summer season in Hamburg but it surely was shut down because of points over its possession and related lawsuits.
Heller finally bought Luna Luna for $6m (£5m) in 1990 to the Stephen and Mary Birch Foundation but it surely was nonetheless dogged by authorized points.
The installations spent 15 years locked up in a park in Texas till Drake and his arts and leisure firm DreamCrew turned concerned.
The rapper, whose actual title is Aubrey Drake Graham, and artistic director Michael Goldberg now plan to revive the park’s artworks, set up a staff to curate the works and put together for a world tour.
“When I first heard about Luna Luna, I was blown away,” Drake added in an announcement. “It’s such a unique and special way to experience art. This is a big idea and opportunity that centres around what we love most: bringing people together.”
A documentary of the restoration is at present within the works, and Luna Luna is because of open in Los Angeles in late 2023 earlier than a North American after which world tour.
