Closely based on Haring’s own concept for the monograph he wanted to publish before his untimely death, this volume represents more than a decade of research and contains a wealth of unpublished photographic and written material including drawings, studio photographs, and journal entries. From chalk drawings deep in the New York City subways to murals in Pisa and Berlin; collaborations with William Burroughs and the famous body painting of Grace Jones, this book follows the incredible trajectory of Keith Haring’s artistic career: how a young man from a small town in rural Pennsylvania came to revolutionize the art world—and the course of art history—within little more than a decade. An incredibly prolific artist, Keith Haring created countless bold, provocative, endearing, and unforgettable images that continue to inspire artists—and delight children—worldwide. Tracing the arc from his early subway "tags" to his poignant work on social issues as diverse as AIDS, illiteracy and apartheid, this visually stunning book is the definitive work on Keith Haring.

Literally everything you'd want to see or read about Keith Haring is in this massive book. Great layout, super comprehensive, beautiful photos, and some excellent writing about a much-loved artist. It closes with a great interview I remember reading at the time. If, like me, you lived in Manhattan in the 80's and remember seeing those ubiquitous chalk drawings in the subway, or bought some merch at the Pop Shop off Houstoun, or checked out new showings at Shafrazi, this book is mandatory. If you weren't there and have just a fleeting interest in Haring, this book is also mandatory because it includes everything you'd want to know or look at.

Outstanding art book!
If you are looking for an art book that details the life story of Keith Haring and the New York Art world in the 1980s this book brings it home. Beautiful photography, on heavy glossy paper with many images of the artist and pictures, I would guess, of all his major, and minor works. There are even a number of fold-out pages. I have not read it yet, but looked over a number of passages and thought this book is about telling his story without the fuller of art speak. Plus, the price for the 500-page book is also outstanding.

A very good read.
I’ve been a fan of Keith Herring for almost 40 years. I even had the pleasure of meeting him what a stand-up guy he was, the art world lost a good one.

内容は非常に満足のいくモノでしたが、洋書の通販にはありがちなことですが、ハードカバーの角が若干潰れていたものが届いたは残念です。
