ABOUT
The exhibition features 25 subway drawings created by Keith Haring from 1980-1985 in the New York City subway system. The works offer a glimpse of Haring’s graphic style and the development of his own visual language through line, patterns, symbols and semiotics that became iconic and recognizable due to its repetitious nature. The drawings were created to extend the experience and enjoyment of art to the wider public. Haring was inspired by public engagement, proclaiming that “art is for everyone".
