Keith Haring

Exhibition at the Tate Liverpool, 14 June - 10 November 2019

American artist Keith Haring (1958 - 1990) was one of the leading figures of the graffiti art movement which emerged from New York in the 1980s. His work reflected a profound commitment to social justice and activism, raising issues that remain relevant today, including the AIDS crisis, racism, and environmental degradation.

Featuring around fifty works supported by rarely seen photography, film and archival documents from the Keith Haring Foundation, this catalogue of the first UK institutional exhibition introduces Haring to a new audience but also throw fresh light on an artist whose work remains symptomatic of the subcultural and creative energy of 1980s New York.
