| Description |
The creator of some of the most popular and enduring images of late 20th Century art, Keith Haring was also an iconic figure of the downtown New York scene in the 80s. Christina Clausens documentary offers an affectionate, deeply personal glimpse into Harings life, from his early years growing up in a small, conservative Pennsylvania town to his heyday as a worldrenowned artist, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Madonna, JeanMichel Basquiat, and Andy Warhol. Harings family and childhood friends offer anecdotes about the artists early years, but it is the recollections of the 70s and 80s New York art scene that form the heart and soul of this documentary. Combining music of the era, photo stills, and audio interviews, Clausen brings the sights and sounds of these decades vividly to life. Yoko Ono, Junior Vasquez, David LaChappelle, and gallery owner Tony Shafrazi are among those who offer insight into the significance of Harings work, as well as their personal memories of their friendship with him.
