A fresh perspective on the work of Keith Haringβ€”one of the world’s most beloved contemporary artistsβ€”with a special focus on his three-dimensional work.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
From the moment he landed in NYC, Keith Haring took 3D objects as his atypical canvas. From cars to vases to refrigerators and even a sarcophagus, these could often be rich sites of collaboration with artist contemporaries including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, and LA2 (Angel Ortiz) among others. Extending his unmistakable mark-making to clothes, stage sets, and bodies brought further collaboration, with the likes of Grace Jones, Bill T. Jones, Madonna, and Annie Leibovitz, the last of whom photographed Haring in an iconic session when he had made his own body a canvas, painting himself to blend into an elaborate 3D environment. With more than 350 illustrations, seven essays, stunning reproductions of his art in three dimensions, and archival photographs of Haring at work, this book gives readers the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world Haring created as never before.

About the Author

Keith Haring (1958-90) was an American artist born in Reading, PA. He moved to New York City in 1978 and began using the city as his canvas, making chalk drawings in subway stations. His art was eventually seen everywhere, from public murals and nightclubs to galleries and museums around the world. By the mid-1980s, he had befriended fellow artists Andy Warhol, Kenny Scharf, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and collaborated with celebrities like the singer Grace Jones. He was also known for his activism in promoting AIDS awareness. He died of AIDS-related complications on February 16, 1990 at the age of thirty-one. He has been the subject of retrospectives at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, among other venues, and his work is in the permanent collections of major museums around the world.
