No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
From the age of 19 until his death from AIDS in 1990 when he was 32, artist Keith Haring kept handwritten notebooks in which he recorded thoughts on his work, his personal relationships, his homosexuality, the books he had read, other artists and his commercial success. An internationally renowned pop icon by the time he was 24, Haring presumably knew the journals would eventually be made public. As a result, some of the entries betray a youthful self-consciousness. Nevertheless, these outspoken statements provide insight into the sexuality that permeates Haring's art and reveal a great deal about his aesthetics, creative development, working methods, competitiveness with other artists, openness to new experiences, love of children, devotion to friends and determination to go on in the face of death. The entries are arranged by year, and lists of Haring's exhibitions and projects are appended. An appreciative introduction by Yale art historian Thompson sets Haring's work in context. Illustrations not seen by PW. BOMC selection.

Cuando me vi obligada a marcharme de la ciudad donde crecí, nunca imaginé que nadie estaría esperando mi regreso con los brazos abiertos. Me encontré con una familia nueva que me ayudó a encajar, con una ciudad que no había cambiado estéticamente y con jóvenes de mi edad que me odiarían a muerte.
