Description
And he continued to work with graffiti artists, though he only went out tagging with them once; he felt stupid as the older white guy, like a chaperone. He didn’t call himself a graffiti artist – in an Interview piece, he described what he did as drawing, rather than graffiti – but the media didn’t listen. He talked to Rodriguez about it. “Keith and I often discussed this,” he says. “I would say to him, You’re not a graffiti artist. And he would say: ‘Oh, it’s the media, it’s how they write it.’ But we both knew that he was playing along with it, because it helped give rise to his success. The thing that people don’t know is that his success also elevated us as well. There was this mutual understanding and agreement that he was really making headway for a lot of people. He was making street art acceptable.”
Soon after moving to New York to study at the School of Visual Arts, he became friends with classmates Kenny Scharf, Samantha McEwen, and John Sex. [108] Eventually, he befriended Jean-Michel Basquiat, who would write his SAMO graffiti around the campus. [109] When Basquiat died in 1988, Haring wrote his obituary for Vogue magazine, and he paid homage to him with the painting A Pile of Crowns for Jean-Michel Basquiat (1988). [110] [111] Untitled (1982) is one of his paintings that display two characters with a dazzling heart-love theme, which critics see as a daring display of homosexual love and important social comment. Elio Fiorucci requested Haring to decorate the walls of his Fiorucci shop in Milan in 1983. In February 1983, he held a solo exhibit at the Fun Gallery in Manhattan’s East Village. Haring encountered and started working with choreographer Bill T. Jones in 1983 when he was in London for the premiere of his exhibit which was held at the Robert Fraser Gallery. Haring painted from head to toe on Jones’ torso as a canvas.Vogel, Carol (June 13, 1997). "Inside Art". The New York Times. ISSN 0362-4331 . Retrieved May 2, 2021. Haring's family attended the United Church of Christ. [10] In his early teenage years, he was involved with the Jesus Movement. [11] He later hitchhiked across the country, selling T-shirts he made featuring the Grateful Dead and anti- Nixon designs. [12] He graduated from Kutztown Area High School in 1976. [13] He studied commercial art from 1976 to 1978 at Pittsburgh's Ivy School of Professional Art, but eventually lost interest, [14] inspired to focus on his own art after reading The Art Spirit (1923) by Robert Henri. [9] Haring's work is in major private and public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Morgan Library and Museum, and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Art Institute of Chicago; the Bass Museum in Miami; Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris; the Brant Foundation Art Study Center in Greenwich, Connecticut; the Carnegie Museum of Art and the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh; the Ludwig Museum in Cologne; and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. [184] He also created a wide variety of public works, including the infirmary at Children's Village in Dobbs Ferry, New York, [185] and the second floor men's room in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center in Manhattan, which was later transformed into an office and is known as the Keith Haring Room. [186] [187] In January 2019 an exhibit called "Keith Haring's New York" opened at New York Law School in the main building of its Tribeca campus. [188] In December 2007, an area of the American Textile Building in the TriBeCa neighborhood of New York City was discovered to have a Haring painting from 1979. [17] Early work: 1980–1981 [ edit ]

In 1988, Haring joined a select group of artists whose work has appeared on the label of Chateau Mouton Rothschild wine. [87] In January 1988, he traveled to Japan to open Pop Shop Tokyo; it closed in the summer of 1988. [88] In April 1988, Haring created a mural on the South Lawn for the annual White House Easter Egg Roll, which he donated to Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C. [89] Late in the summer, Haring traveled to Düsseldorf for a show of his paintings and sculptures at the Hans Mayer Gallery. [90] In December 1988, Haring's exhibition opened at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery, which he stated was his most important show to date. He felt he had something to prove because of his health condition and the deaths of his friends Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. [91]Though Haring, Basquiat and Scharf were very different artists, all three were interested in making work outside galleries. Haring started tagging – he drew his tag, the radiant baby, next to existing graffiti, never over the top – and Basquiat was already doing so. All three were also interested in the risk and magic of making work without preparatory drawings, and Haring was the king of this. Lenore and Herb Schorr, collectors of both Basquiat and Haring, recall his ability to fill whatever space he needed to. Ben Anthony • Director of Keith Haring: Street Art Boy".

But art institutions, especially museums, didn’t know how to react to these upstarts and their work. Neither did critics: some were supportive, many were snide ( Time’s Robert Hughes caricatured Haring as “Keith Boring”). There was a sense among the stuffy that these young artists were not to be taken seriously, and Haring’s likable painting style meant that his art, though loved by the public, was not “high” enough for the elite. Plus, he collaborated with others too often; he was too commercial; he would keep banging on about politics and safe sex. KEITH HARING PAINTS MURAL ON BERLIN WALL". The New York Times.
