Keith Haring: The Political Line

I finally went to the Keith Haring Political Line exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art a few days ago. It is impressive. Enormous tarpaulins are hung in the huge space, covering his work from the early days as a burgeoning pop artist to his death in 1990.
Anti-establishment and anti conformist; political and social activist; pop and graffiti artist - it's all in his work. Then there is the merchandise store where you can buy key holders, books, magnets, badges, posters...the legacy of a capitalist strategy from an outspoken anti-capitalist artist. Along with opening of his pop shops, Haring was also a a firm believer in making art accessible to all. Many of his paintings are untitled, something that was deliberate on his part as he believed that the interpretation of his work should be left entirely to the viewer.

The exhibition runs until 18 August, and for every ticket bought for the Musee d'Art Moderne show, ticket holders get a discounted entry fee to the artist's work at the CENTQUATRE.
