Book Description
This catalogue explores the early, vibrant, experimental years that shaped Haring's work. Beginning with the years when, having first enrolled in the school of Visual Arts in New York City, he started a diligent and vigorous studio practice, and began making public and political art on the city streets, joining an art community outside the institutionalised art system. This catalogue includes drawings and sketchbooks, videos, flyers, posters, photographs and subway drawings, as well as word collages, texts, and diaries. It offers an impression of the artist's manifold maturing process and shows Keith Haring as a philosopher and untiring initiator of artistic and political activities, reflecting his collaboration with other artists, his interest in interdisciplinary aesthetic strategies and the pulsating culture of the time. Published to accompany the exhibition at Kunsthalle Vienna, May ndash; 19 September 2010.

Art and Merchandise in Keith Haring’s Pop Shop

Author: Amy Raffel
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000286967
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 299

Book Description
As one of the first academic monographs on Keith Haring, this book uses the Pop Shop, a previously overlooked enterprise, and artist merchandising as tools to reconsider the significance and legacy of Haring’s career as a whole. Haring developed an alternative approach to both the marketing and the social efficacy of art: he controlled the sales and distribution of his merchandise, while also promulgating his belief in accessibility and community activism. He proved that mass-produced objects can be used strategically to form a community and create social change. Furthermore, looking beyond the 1980s, into the 1990s and 2000s, Haring and his shop prefigured artists’ emerging, self-aware involvement with the mass media, and the art world’s growing dependence on marketing and commercialism. The book will be of interest to scholars or students studying art history, consumer culture, cultural studies, media studies, or market studies, as well as anyone with a curiosity about Haring and his work, the 1980s art scene in New York, the East Village, street art, art activism, and art merchandising.

Queer Latino Testimonio, Keith Haring, and Juanito Xtravaganza

Author: A. Cruz-Malavé
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 0230607020
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 236

Book Description
In the tradition of the Latin American testimonio, this is the story of Juan Rivera, a.k.a. Juanito Xtravaganza, a Latino runaway youth who ends up homeless in the streets of New York in the late 70s and becomes partner of the internationally famous 1980s Pop artist Keith Haring during some of the most frenetically productive years of his brief life, as told to the author and retold by him. A hybrid text - part testimonio, part linguistic and cultural analysis, and part art criticism - this is also a history of New York Latino neighborhoods during this period of devastating disinvestment and gentrification, as well as a personal, heart-felt meditation on the art of listening and the ethical limits of representing queer Latino lives.

Manhattan Penis Drawings for Ken Hicks

Author: Keith Haring
Publisher:
ISBN: 9783905999631
Category : Penis in art
Languages : en
Pages : 152

Book Description
Haring’s Manhattan Penis Drawings deliberately eschew eroticism in their repetitive, decorative patterning of male genitalia. The works, made in the late ’70s, interestingly foreshadow the political turn Haring’s work would take in response to the AIDS crisis. The sketches shed light on the concerns that preoccupied Haring during his formative years in the city that would so define his artistic practice—namely, the forging of a direct and immediate visual language and the translation of the personal and political into universal experience. One of the key figures in the New York art world of the 1980s, Keith Haring (1958–1990) created a signature style that blended street art, graffiti, a Pop sensibility, and cartoon elements to unique and memorable effect. With thick black outlines, bright colors, and kinetic figures, his public (and occasionally illegal) interventions, works on canvas, paper and sculptures have become instantly recognizable icons of 20th century visual culture.
