This vast, large-scale exhibit of Keith Haring's early work circa 1978-1982 boasts rarely seen sketchbooks, flyers, subway drawings, works on paper, cut-up writing, and experimental video. See the downtown art superstar's oeuvre from when he first arrived to New York City, and explore his radically minded outdoor murals, which have been integral to "legitimization" of graffiti and street art.
