Close friends Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring each created a unique visual language that radically shifted the existing art world. Using iconography, symbols and wordplay, both artists explored ideas around race, sexuality, spirituality and contemporary life through art. Their legacies continue to inform popular culture on a global scale.
Keith Haring | Jean-Michel Basquiat: Crossing Lines examines the numerous creative and personal intersections between Haring and Basquiat through over 200 images, including works created in public spaces, paintings, sculptures, objects, works on paper, and photographs. This volume links an extensive visual archive with observations by scholars, critics and artists on Basquiat and Haring's work, alongside interviews with their contemporaries, lending new insights into the reach of each artist’s influence as well as their remarkable connection.
