The Brant Foundation’s East Village space is currently hosting an exhibition focused on the formative years of Keith Haring, specifically tracing his artistic development from 1980 to 1983. The showcase highlights Haring’s transition from a subway chalk artist to a global icon, situated in the very neighborhood where his career began. Curated by Dr. Dieter Buchhart and Dr. Anna Karina Hofbauer, the exhibition explores the 'breakthrough' period of an artist whose distinct visual language became synonymous with 1980s New York City culture.
