Keith Haring @ MOMA

Keith Haring. Untitled. 1982

The monumental 1982 Keith Haring drawing "Untitled" is not often on view.
The work is pinned across three walls on MoMA’s 2nd floor in a truly immersive presentation. Shown alongside work by Haring’s contemporaries such as Jeff Koons, Martin Wong, and artist-run collectives like ABC No Rio and COLAB, the drawing can be appreciated in its art-historical and social contexts.

De Kooning: A Way of Seeing

Artist Tom Ferrara, former assistant to famed painter Willem De Kooning talks "in-studio" for MOMA (inside/out). Many times the first thing he would say about the painting he was working on was, “It reminds me of…” and it could be anything. He said, “you have to change to stay the same” and it was the way he described the challenge of keeping the life in his art. But change requires work and a lot of risk-taking. Free association was a big part of what his art was about. All he needed was the suggestion of form and his imagination would take off.
