Children played on fairground rides designed by the world’s greatest artists for a single summer before they disappeared for decades.

The attractions were part of the world’s first art funfair – Luna Luna – dreamed up by little-known Austrian creative André Heller in the 1970s, featuring a carousel by Keith Haring, a Ferris wheel by Jean-Michel Basquiat and a David Hockney pavilion.

Visitors could wander Roy Lichtenstein’s hall of mirrors and marvel at Salvador Dali’s fun dome, sampling biscuits decorated by artist Gertie Frölich as actors dressed as nuns and flamingos milled about.

A successful attraction for months, plans for a grand European tour formed – but when they later fell through, an extensive legal battle ensued and the rides were shut down, disassembled and packed away, forgotten.
