Keith Haring

The centerpiece of this show is a series of three monumental drawings unseen by the public since their creation as part of a 1982 performance at the Kitchen, when it was still located in Soho. The pieces were executed in real time as the "set" for a dance by choreographer Bill T. Jones: As Jones performed, so did Haring, painting in concert with Jones's movements. Besides being especially rare works by Haring, these pieces are also documents of the creative ferment that was downtown New York in the 1980s.
