Keith Haring: Future Primeval

Excerpt from the Introduction: Curating an exhibition of an artist who virtually created around the clock for ten years is an unwieldy task. I decided early on to concentrate on works that have had minimum exposure in publications or exhibitions in the U.S. Haring's curious eschewal of traditional art mediums in favor of discarded or commercial materials such as vinyl, metal shelving, automobile panels and garden statuary has been given great emphasis in the exhibition. More than two dozen subway drawings are presented for the first time in an above-ground context to illuminate their seminal importance in the artist's oeuvre. The earliest work included is a pre-figurative Sumi ink drawing done in 1979, while Haring attended the School of Visual Arts. I chose 1985 as a cutoff date predominantly in order to encompass the full evolution of the subway drawings, executed from 1981 to 1985; and also to examine the earliest works by the artist alluding directly to the death knell of AIDS; to include small-scale examples of the painted steel sculptures that were fabricated in the later 1980s; and to avoid the weighty and often misused term: retrospective. Haring made art until the last days of his brief yet incredibly prolific and benevolent life. I anticipate an eventual exhibition of far greater scale than Future Primeval that will amass major works spanning the compressed decade of his artistic career.

My First Coloring Book

American artist Keith Haring developed a unique visual language of elaborately entwined patterns and symbols that has come to epitomize the energy and popular culture of New York in the 1980s. Usually characterized by its thick black outlines, Haring's graphic, graffiti-like style draws from realms as diverse as cartoon and calligraphy. His lexicon of popular icons includes everything from babies to pyramids, flying saucers to TV screens, hearts and crosses to robots. Yet what emerges from Haring's colorful and upbeat images is often an expression of serious and poignantly expressed concerns: racial conflict, homophobia, and AIDS (of which Haring died in 1990 at the age of 32). This pocket-sized booklet of 18 detachable postcards includes an eye-catching array of humorous, colorful images that are representative of his entire body of work. --A.C. Smith
