Haring at Brooklyn Museum, by Feral Things on Aug 17, 2013 0:05:10 GMT 1, There's some really fantastic work in that exhibition; thanks for sharing.
I'm sure someone will point out something obvious which I've overlooked but I can't think that there's ever been a retrospective for either Keith Haring or Jean-Michel Basquiat here in the UK. Come on Serota, sort it out!

Haring at Brooklyn Museum, by Street Art Fan on Aug 17, 2013 15:39:06 GMT 1, Thanks for posting, dreadnatty. Beautiful stuff.
Looking at the pictures, I'm reminded just how brilliantly subversive he was. This aspect of Haring, I think, has been largely forgotten since his death. Nowadays the Haring that most are familiar with is the one whose work they encounter on postcards, mugs, t-shirts, dorm posters, etc. - the "family-friendly" stuff. Commercialization has a way of erasing the controversial parts of an artist's original vision in order to make it palatable to the public at large.
