Further Background:
Larry Levan was an American DJ best known for his decade-long residency at the legendary New York City nightclub Paradise Garage, the prototype of the modern dance club. Levan developed a cult following who referred to his sets as "Saturday Mass". Influential post-disco DJ François Kevorkian credits Levan with introducing the dub aesthetic into dance music. Levan experimented with drum machines and synthesizers in his productions and live sets, ushering in an electronic, post-disco sound that presaged the ascendence of house music.
When Keith Haring was introduced to Levan/Paradise Garage, he said, “it absolutely blew my mind … I mean, I have never been the same since I walked into Paradise Garage”. From that point on Haring was also regularly attending parties there, sometimes even scheduling his trips around the Garage’s program. In his journal, he is describing “leaving on Sundays and returning on Saturdays”. In fact, together with Levan, he was one of the main promoters of the Paradise Garage.
As one of the first multimedia dance clubs, Paradise Garage was a place that Haring himself declared played a crucial role in his development and socialization, at least up until 1987. In his journals he wrote, “I don’t know if you know how important the Paradise Garage is, at least for me and the tribe of people who have shared many a collective spiritual experience there. The Garage also changed or affected my life incredibly through various ‘re-imprinting’ experiences and transformations.” He also describes how the scene at the Garage inspired the succession of dancing figures with which he plastered the City in the early 80’s.
“Keith was a product of the whole street vibe. Paradise Garage was four walls to put the street in. He was about what the street was. What percolated on the street was what Keith was about.” (Junior Vasquez)

- Richard Avedon Who Has a Better Right to Oppose the War (Vietnam protest poster)By Richard AvedonLocated in NEW YORK, NYRichard Avedon, "Who Has a Better Right to Oppose the War?," Vintage original protest poster, 1969 A famous 1969 Richard Avedon illustrated poster against the Vietnam War. Avedon's picture depicts a handsome soldier wearing a formal US Army uniform colored bright red (symbolic for blood). The soldier is seen holding a white dove, over the caption, 'Who Has a Better Right to Oppose the War?' Commissioned by The Student Mobilization Committee, the poster became a effective anti-war rallying device of the late 1960s. Off-set lithograph in colors 25 x 40 inches Some signs of minor handling; otherwise very good Plate signed on lower left Collections Whitney Museum of American Art - Daniel Wolf Collection of Protest Posters Richard Avedon’s dynamic, stylized portraits helped bridge the worlds of fashion and fine art photography. Avedon captured his staged subjects on black-and-white film, sometimes in motion. He turned his probing, intimate gaze on both everyday civilians and cultural icons such as Marilyn Monroe and Malcolm X. Avedon served as a photographer in the military before working as both a freelancer and staff photographer for publications including Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, The New Yorker, Life, and others. While he is widely known for his commercial and editorial practices, Avedon also exhibited widely in cities including New York, Paris, and London. Throughout his lifetime, he published a number of books of collected photography. On the secondary market, Avedon’s work has sold in excess of $1 million.
