+gp5 dang, dude I replied to the wrong comment... yeah, he mural is still there. it's actually the second rendition. it has a cool back story, it got vandalized after Haring got fined $25 for painting on public property. he was later commissioned to paint the new one, the one we see today.
17:13 that kid does a great job explaining that statue and keith's work in general. peace, love, and people can do whatever they want if they try hard enough. and...thats all. and his little new york accent is like the cherry on the cake.
The stupid director cut out his whole engagement with the culture wars, his homosexual drawing, and his fight against AIDS. This was like half of his work. He died of AIDS! I THINK this was something important to include
Thank you for uploading this! I watched this documentary in my art class in 9th grade and I really enjoyed it. I'm happy to finally be watching it again.
I wish they would have talked about him being openly gay and an advocate of AIDS awareness. I realize the documentary is old so that is perhaps why they chose to leave those aspects of him out. Nevertheless, being gay and having AIDS played key roles in shaping Keith as a person and artist so it really is a shame. :/
Yes they tried to sanitise & desexualise gay people in the 80's/90's so as to not scare the straight audience, appear less threatening & 'fit in' more. Hopefully today it would be a full on expose.
I was lucky enough to have seen him as he was throwing up a piece in the subway. I must have been 16 or so. Never had any idea who he was until I saw him on the news getting arrested for the same thing. That was a magical era in New York back then.
Down south, we were mesmerized by the graffiti and rap music world of New York in the early '80's. The challenge of trying to get the latest songs and seeing images from the NY scene was real. It must have been wild fun growing up there during those years.
I grew up down south in the 90s and I remember having a desire to know and see New York because of the rich art scene. My teenager has the sparkle in her eye for NYC herself now for broadway as she does musical theatre. I think we all down here have that at some point growing up. 🙂
@aregua 1: Yes. It really was the exciting time that you see portrayed in docs and film! As culturally exuberant as it was brief. But bear in mind, 99% ( but that's just my stupid mathematical guess) of graffiti was derivative, copycat junk- from the type fonts to the images and text/symbols. VERY few that were armed with markers or a can of Krylon were actual, visionary artists, let alone a significant art influencers.
@@areguapiri yes it really was magical. It's like you knew you were somewhere special but never really knew the impact would on the world. I feel very privileged to have grown up in such a time...it was an incredible era

KEITH HARING | JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT CROSSING LINES In an unprecedented, world premiere exhibition, the National Gallery of Victoria presents the work of two of the most significant and influential artists of the late twentieth century in Keith Haring | Jean-Michel Basquiat: Crossing Lines.

“Darth Vader’s Glowing Rod” is perhaps the quintessential example of self referential totalogy available in the vernacular of #contentandform, the mainstay separation between sign and signifier or between the representation and meaning of the representation. Jean Baudrillard is Luke Skywalker’s non-Disney canon father, who teaches him how to use his pulsating glowing rod.
art made a major transformation in the eighties he may have not been able to participate but artists like Andy Warhol did and he later became a mentor to Keith. Warhol was ahead of his game and between Lichtenstein jasper johns and Warhol. Warhol did it best and was a huge influence on Keith as was writer William s Burroughs who was a writer but made art using the cut up technique Keith even says he used his cut up process to make art like Burroughs did cutting up his books and making it something psychedelic like peace and love. Everybody loved Keith on the 80s he had a tragic death dying so young of aids at 32. Two years after his colleague and good friend jean Michel basquiat who died of a heroin overdose year after his mentor Andy Warhol died on 87. I really like Kenny Scharfs art who was the third musketeer Keith,jean and Kenny. i think pop surrealism survives through him
+ Derek McGee, that's so very interesting and very sad what ensued with the lives of people. Thank you so much for your detailed comment. Thought Andy passed on at 57 y.o. Maybe I read that wrong somewhere I looked? Maybe someone could clarify it. Thought that age was rather young, considering the time frames. Have a nice day.
keith haring in my opinion was probably one of the most creative unique and talented artist of the 20th century mqybe even the best. It was fragic that such a warm and good heartedperson could die so young from aids,i agree wifh k scharf if he were alive today with the internet and all the technology available he would be unstoppable take alook at scharfs work its very amazing he adored keith and even uses a lpt of his work on his paintings to pay homage
This is as historically accurate an early portrait of Mr. Haring and the New York era during which he worked as you will ever see. Having lived and worked in the City during that time, I can't describe this film and it's narrated script as anything less than "definitive". Bear in mind, the documentary was early on in his career and omits the critical areas of his openly gay life and it's influence and also the AIDS epidemic which followed and flooded later on in NYC.
I remembered being fascinated by this art style back in the early 90's. I often would use his style in many of my pieces. Very influential. Of course if he were alive today he'd be accused of cultural appropriation by the 'woke' crowd.
You should check out slappy_mcbutterpants work. I don’t know what his real name is but he’s on Instagram and is going to be big one day. Some of his work is similar to Keith’s style, but for anyone interested in seeing some otherworldly artwork, definitely check him out.
His "Crack is wack" piece at a handball court on the FDR in NYC is still untouched and respected, as if he pieced it yesterday.
+gp5 Its even on an LSD blotter lol.
Did Harring do any drugs?
+gp5 probably
Stewie Morris
No, it is, I live in NYC and I tend to use the FDR on occasions and always see that piece.

Art rubs people differently.
You don't have to bash another artist over another . It should be sth to enjoy and not compete over
E. Lin - Basquiat was THE genius of the 1980’s. Harings great too. Basquiat is SO important - one of the last great Moderns.
The stupid director cut out his whole engagement with the culture wars, his homosexual drawing, and his fight against AIDS. This was like half of his work. He died of AIDS! I THINK this was something important to include
Sorry if this is a stupid question but was he gay?

His work was nice. I used to see it in the subways when I traveled back in the 80's in new york city. It was inspirational.
Keith was a genius, so ahead of his time
Saw some of his amazing art when it came to a New Zealand gallery, just great, RIP.

Dennis Hopper, wow i think it makes sense on how he was featured in the '96, Basquiat, movie since he's i guess an art aficionado.

Show it ! Organize a parade
a great tribute he was so smart and tall a good heart
How tall ?
Keith Haring is my inspiration but this doesn't touch that he was a homosexual and how that affected his rich life and beautiful work.

I saw this documentary a decade ago, and the very New Yorkerish kid from 17:13 always stayed in my memory😂
My boys head kind of looked like a Martian.
They had incredible stamina and drive...Yeah Tony it's called cocaine.
I remember seeing his work back in the 90s i seen a lot of his Murals and a few graffiti throughout the city
The music at the end sounds like Sega Genesis.
Mayan art, Egyptian art and Caribbean hyroglyphs preceded each of these references with symbolic forms and figures of animals and human forms.
There should be a law that states...In order to be called a 'Documentary',It must be at least 60 min.
My favorite Pop Artist
Sesame Street made me a fan of him lol
Did he guest on SS ?
MAY THE 4th BE WITH YOU.
Let's All officially make it Keith Haring Day!
Maybe this is how it was meant to be, he produced so much Art in such a short period of time, he wasn’t meant to be with us but a short while.
yea....or AIDS
cool
I fear great artist are only alive as legends like the ones we know from the 21 century. Starting with Picasso and ending with Negret
honey hush please remember the name DASH
the ending is terrible
How so? I don’t understand.
