About the Item
The pattern on this special edition, composite leather Basketball from round21 features details from Haring’s Tokyo Fabric Design (1988), inspired by his time spent in Japan, as well as two panels containing the artist’s signature.
In 1986, artist Keith Haring opened his Pop Shop on Lafayette Street in New York City. (It closed in 2005). After Haring visited Tokyo in 1983 and ‘86, he was inspired to open a second Pop Shop there, in 1987. The space was made out of two metal shipping containers welded together to form one large room. Even though the Tokyo Pop Shop was short-lived (it closed in 1988), it had a significant impact on Japanese pop culture. (And the structure itself was preserved and brought to the U.S.)
The Keith Haring Tokyo Fabric Basketball comes fully inflated and has a premium bladder for lasting air retention. Ball is an official men’s size 7 (29.5" circumference) and weight.

Keith Haring
Keith Haring began experimenting with his bold, graphic lines and cartoon-inspired figures on the walls of New York City subway stations in the early 1980s. He called them his “laboratory,” places to develop a radical new aesthetic based on an ideology of creating truly democratic public art.
Haring’s paintings, prints and murals address the universal themes of death, love and sex, as well as contemporary issues he experienced personally, like the crack-cocaine and AIDS epidemics. They derive much of their impact from the powerful contrast between these serious subjects and the joyful, vibrant pictographic language he uses to express them, full of dancing figures, babies, barking dogs, hearts and rhythmic lines, as well as references to pop culture.
To make his art even more accessible, in 1986, Haring opened the Pop Shop in Soho. In a foreshadowing of today’s intermingling of art and fashion, the shop sold merchandise and novelty items featuring imagery by Haring and contemporaries like Kenny Scharf and Jean-Michel Basquiat. While his works sometimes included text, for the most part, he chose to communicate through drawing.
“Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times,” Haring once declared. “It lives through magic.”

- protect me from what I want - Contemporary Relief WallpieceLocated in Wien, WienVeronika Suschnig protect me from what I want, 2021 "Drugtales" Series Lacquer, synthetic resin on blister, metal, wood, imitation leather, wire 100 x 70 cm Unique Healing and the traces of wounds are repeated themes in Veronika Suschnig's work, which encourages more attention in juxtaposition and togetherness. This is evident not only in the "Soft Skills" series, but also in the "Pain Poems" and "Pain Patterns" — notes glued into rose thorns — or in the "Drugtales", set pieces of text fragments drawn on empty tablet cases. “Turn soft and lovely anytime you have the chance”, as Jenny Holzer says. The three-dimensional and expansive thinking that is essential in all of Suschnig's work series also emerged from her preoccupation with architecture. Born in 1989 in Korneuburg near Vienna, Veronika Suschnig not only studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna with Daniel Richter, but also completed a degree in architecture. Currently, after a brief apprenticeship with Heimo Zobernig...Category
