Keith Haring: About Art : Palazzo Reale, Milan, Italy
A major exhibition of over 110 works by this brilliant American artist is being held at Palazzo Reale. They come from public and private, American, European and Asian collections, many are extremely large, some have never been exhibited before or never been shown in Italy.
This show renders the full significance and complexity of Keith Haring's research for the first time, by highlighting its relationship with art history.
The exhibition layout establishes a dialogue between Haring's works and his sources of inspiration, from the archaeology of classical antiquity, to PreColumbian art, archetypal religious figures, Pacific masks and the creative art of indigenous Americans, right up to 20th-century masters such as Pollock, Dubuffet and Klee.
