The Universe of Keith Haring

Christina Clausen’s “The Universe of Keith Haring” is undoubtedly on our must see list. Haring rose to fame in the early 80’s with his signature visual language that was born out of the NYC subways. His inspiring & prolific career was cut short, Haring passed away in 1990 from AIDS related causes.


Deitch Projects with the help of Goldman Properties, the Keith Haring Foundation reproduced one of Harings most famous murals that lived on Houston Street for a few months before being painted over.

The dedicated wall was painstakingly redone thanks to old archival photographs taken during the wall’s original inception in 1982. The wall will be on display until December 21st at Houston St. and Bowery in New York.
