Keith Haring.The Alphabet at ALBERTINA



The ALBERTINA Museum is devoting a sweeping exhibition to Keith Haring (1958–1990), who would have celebrated his 60th birthday in 2018. The focus will be on the one-of-a-kind symbolic language that is present throughout Haring’s oeuvre as an artistic alphabet of sorts. The artist’s subway works and other drawings, as well as his paintings and sculptures, are devoted to themes of social justice and constant transformation. Curated by Dr. Dr. Dieter Buchhart. On view from 16 March until 24 June 2018.

Keith Haring 1978-1982 "The early experimental years"


"The public has a right to art. Art is for everybody" - Keith Haring

The Keith Haring show at the Kunsthalle Wien gives a revealing insight in Haring's widely unknown early years and from what origins he developed the vocabulary for his iconic and trademark like style that made him one of the most popular artist in the world, even more then 20 years after his death in 1990.

When he studdied at the School of Visual Art NYC he first experimented with fotocopies, performance and video and was one of the leading figures in the glittering clubbing scene of the 80s and a political and gay rights activist. But he also produced hundreds of small, mostly abstract line drawings and filled douzens of dairies with theoratical and philosophical thoughts about art. To explore what channels he could use as an artist except galleries he turned to street art and subway drawings.

The show was curated by Raphaela Platow, director Contemporary Art Center, Cincinnatti, OH and put together with the help of The Keith Haring Foundation. In 2011 the show will be seen at the Contemporary Art Center, Cincinnatti.

Die Ausstellung in der Kunsthalle Wien zeigt die eher unbekannten "frühen Jahre" von Keith Haring. Wie er zunächst mit Fotokopien, Flyern, Performances und Video experimentiert und aus kleinen abstrakten Zeichnungen und in theoretischen, philosophischen Tagebüchern seine Arbeit reflektiert und seinen Stil entwickelt. Um sich als Künstler von den Galerien zu emanzipieren wendet er sich der Street Art zu und überall in New Yorks Stadtbild tauchen die ersten seiner Zeichnungen und Figuren auf.

Die Ausstellung entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Contemporary Art Center, Cincinnatti, OH und der Keith Haring Foundation.
