| Keith Haring: Against All Odds June 21 – September 15, 2019 |
|
From
June 21 through September 15, 2019 the Arlington Museum of Art will be
showing street and pop artist Keith Haring’s groundbreaking works. The
exhibit will feature fifty of Haring’s original pieces, showcasing his
mix of fine art and bold lines. Haring’s career took flight in the
1980’s and depicted many themes including poverty, violence, racism, and
AIDS. The exhibit aims to deconstruct the traditional view of Haring as
an artist and highlight his activism in 1980s New York. Haring was
diagnosed with AIDS in 1988 and spent the remaining years of his life
establishing the Keith Haring Foundation. The Foundation aims to fund
AIDS awareness programs and organizations that work primarily with
children. Haring’s artwork has become a symbol for AIDS awareness and
other community issues since his passing. The Arlington Museum of Art is
excited to showcase Haring’s community-driven work.
