An unmistakable style that has come to define an era
Tate Liverpool
June 14, 2019 – November 10, 2019
Join us for the first, major UK exhibition of artist and activist Keith Haring (1958-1990). Visitors can enjoy more than 85 artworks including large, vibrant paintings, drawings and sculptures.
A part of the legendary New York art scene of 1980s, Haring was a champion of his generation’s counterculture. He was inspired by graffiti, pop art and underground club culture. Haring worked with like-minded artists such as Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. All were interested in creating art for the many. They used new media and public spaces, not galleries to do so.

Discover how activism played a key role in Haring‘s art. Compelled to speak for his generation, his art responds to urgent issues including political dictatorship, racism, homophobia, drug addiction, AIDS awareness, capitalism and the environment.

Also on display are posters, photographs, and videos that conjure the vibrancy of late 1980s New York street culture that Haring embraced and reflected.
