ARTIST: Keith Haring
BLURRED BOUNDARIES: The Work of Keith Haring
April - September 1999
Art Assets is pleased to announce Blurred Boundaries: The Work of Keith Haring, an exhibition of painting and graphic work by the artist. The exhibition consists of 10 works, including a large-scale sculpture.
Performance was the term Haring used to describe his drawing process. As performance, these works reveal Haring’s incessant energy -- a relentless desire to bridge the inner and outer worlds of imagination and reality. Keith Haring aimed to reach deeply into the heart and soul of his generation.
The works on display reveal Haring’s simplified figurative abstract forms and highly graphic style that radiated the urban energy of club life, graffiti, break dancing and hip-hop culture. Featured are works that made Haring one of the most popular and beloved artists of his time -- his well-known puzzle-like constructions fusing Pop and Disney to Stuart Davis.
This exhibition coincides with an exhibit of Haring's work at the Whitney Museum and the installation of his sculptures along Park Avenue.
The organizers are grateful to the Estate of Keith Haring, The Keith Haring Foundation, Inc., and Andre Emmerich Gallery.
