Keith Haring Amsterdam 1986: "When Keith Haring’s first major solo exhibition was staged in Stedelijk Museum in 1986, the artist was beginning to gain great affection and admiration within the larger audience. Alongside his iconic paintings and drawings, Haring wanted to create a site-specific work especially devised for this show. Therefore, he had laid out a massive velum on the floor, measuring almost 40 x 66 feet, 12 x 20 meters, and created a stunning canvas in just one day, using only spray paint. Painting rapidly and rhythmically while moving over the canvas to the hip-hop playing in the background, Haring made quite a performance of it, while photographers and journalists looked on. Featuring dancing, waving figures, crawling babies and squirming animals, the canvas was stretched below the monumental glass cupola above the historic staircase, filtering daylight into the grand hallway. At the time of the show, Keith Haring was involved in many other activities in the city of Amsterdam, outside of the museum. Using the city as his canvas, he joined young, local, graffiti artists to create some stunning artworks that commanded attention. Among those pieces is a mural on the façade of the former Stedelijk storage depot on the Jan van Galenstraat, painted while working from a crane. Described by the Amsterdam artist Jan Rothuizen, who was there at the time, as a kind of a happy dinosaur with an elongated neck, it is Haring’s largest surviving public artwork in Europe. This painting still stands today, yet it is hidden from the view, concealed by weatherboarding installed to protect the building against damp conditions."

  • Keith Haring Pop Shop Tokyo 1992 (monograph)
    By (after) Keith Haring
    Located in NEW YORK, NY
    Keith Haring Pop Shop Tokyo book 1992: Rare vintage Keith haring monograph which well documents the history of Keith Haring's Tokyo Pop Shop; features many photographs by Haring's longtime friend and collaborator Tseng Kwong Chi. 
 Softcover; 68 pages; 1st edition 1st printing, 1992. 9.75 x 9.5 inches. Minor surface & age related wear to front & back cover; in otherwise good overall vintage condition. Text in German & English. Published by Galerie Kunst Parterre / George Mulder Fine Arts. Unsigned from an edition of 1500. Rare. Keith Haring Pop Shop: In 1986, Keith Haring opened the Pop Shop at 292 Lafayette Street, New York. The following year, Haring collaborated with Japanese film producer Kaz Kuzui, and his American wife, film director Fran Rubel Kuzui on a Tokyo venue, in the Aoyama neighborhood. The shop was made out of two shipping containers welded together to form one large room. While the shop was conceived very much in the image of its New York counterpart, many of the products were created by Haring to mirror Japan’s cultural traditions. Haring did extensive design work in Tokyo; fans and kimonos were manufactured in Kyoto, and rice bowl templates were painted and then produced in Nagoya. With speed and virtuosity, Haring began painting the interior of the shop on January 27, 1988 and finished the next day. The paint was still tacky on January 29 when he oversaw the installation of the displays in time for a press preview that evening. On Saturday, January 30, Pop Shop Tokyo opened to the public. However, sales were disappointing, and Haring noted “there are just too many Haring fakes available all over Tokyo and, this time, they’re really well done.” The shop closed in the summer of 1988.

  • Keith Haring Sacred Images in Secular Art (Whitney Museum Catalogue 1986)
    By (after) Keith Haring
    Located in NEW YORK, NY
    Sacred Images In Secular Art catalog by Whitney Museum of American Art, 1986: Catalog of an exhibition held at the Museum, May 1-July 13, 1986 featuring Keith Haring cover imagery. Twelve American artists including Brice Marden, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Robert Mapplethorpe & Keith Haring were part of this exhibition featuring the use of sacred images in secular art. The catalogue essay briefly describes each of the works in the show. 9 x 6 inches; 18 pages; offset printed; 1986. Good overall vintage condition with the exception of some handwriting on verso. Unsigned form a scarce edition of unknown. Keith Haring rose to prominence in 1980s New York within the East Village art scene alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, and Jenny Holzer. He bridged the gap between the art world and the street, graffiting city subways and sidewalks before committing to a studio practice. Haring united the appeal of cartoons with the raw energy of Art Brut artists such as Jean DuBuffet as he developed a distinct pop-graffiti aesthetic that comprised energetic, boldly outlined figures against solid or patterned backdrops. His major themes included exploitation, subjugation, drug abuse, and the threat of nuclear holocaust; Haring boldly engaged with social issues, especially after receiving an AIDS diagnosis in 1987. Today, his work sells for seven figures at auction and has been the subject of solo shows at the Brooklyn Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Albertina Museum in Vienna, among other institutions.
