Keith Haring Before the End of the World

The article reviews Keith Haring's early work from 1980 to 1983, currently on view at the Brant Foundation in New York. The author reflects on initially dismissing Haring's graffiti-inspired style as trite and playful, but now sees darker, prophetic themes in pieces featuring apocalyptic imagery, UFOs, nuclear power, and mindless obedience to higher powers. The exhibition, curated by Dieter Buchhart and Anna Karina Hofbauer, runs through May 31.
