Keith Haring, by Feral Things on Aug 2, 2013 17:41:25 GMT 1, My apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere but I couldn't find a thread about it and I just happened to stumble across the exhibition on Miss Van's Instagram.  There's a major Keith Haring retrospective running at two sites in Paris: 'The Political Line' at Musée d‘Art Moderne and 'Grande Formats' at Le CENTQUATRE.  The xhibition closes on 18th August, so there's only a couple of weeks to go.

"The Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, in association with Le CENTQUATRE, is devoting a wide-ranging retrospective to American artist Keith Haring (1958-1990). The exhibition will bear witness to the importance of Haring's work, in particular its profoundly "political" content, apparent in his work throughout his career.  Almost 250 pictures on canvas and tarpaulins and from subway walls – as well as twenty monumental works – will be exhibited at Le CENTQUATRE, making this one of the largest presentations of Keith Haring’s works ever.

Keith Haring was one of the most well-known artists of his time, and even today his inimitable style, with its strong, graphic line and repertoire of emblematic signs, remains familiar to all. Beginning with Documenta 7 in 1982, his work was exhibited alongside that of Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Jenny Holzer and Daniel Buren, as well in museums and biennials around the world."

I think Haring is an incredible artist, so I'm very jealous of anyone who does get to catch this one.
