Keith Haring: Art to the Streets
April 27 - June 23, 2024
Keith Haring: Art to the Streets is a large-scale touring exhibition of Keith Haring, a renowned American artist of the 1980s known for his bright pop imagery, taking place at Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art, Gallery Wing 3F Gallery for the Kansai region.
Based on the belief that “art is for everybody”, Haring disseminated his work throughout everyday life using the subway and streets based mainly in New York. In this way, he gave everyone the opportunity to encounter art. Moreover, in an era predating the internet and social media, Haring conveyed strong social messages to a chaotic society through his works. This made a pioneering figure in the effort to expand the potential of an art-based dialogue with the general public. During his fast-paced 31-year life, Haring spent roughly a decade working as an artist. However, his impressive works, distinguished by their simple bold lines, are still loved by people all over the world, inspiring collaborations in a host of different genres.
This exhibition presents a comprehensive collection of approximately 150 pieces, including the subway drawings that made Haring’s name to monumental, a six-meter-long work and important materials detailing the artist’s special link to Japan. Haring’s art, which he used to fight against latent social violence and inequality, and discrimination and lack of government support for HIV/AIDS community until the end of his life, transcends both time and space, retaining the power to touch our hearts even today.

Keith Haring (1958-1990)
Born in the northeastern U.S. state of Pennsylvania. In the early 1980s, Keith Haring first attracted attention with a project called Subway Drawings in which he made drawings on unused advertising boards inside the New York subway system. After emerging as a leading cultural of the era alongside Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat, Haring enjoyed international acclaim. He made murals and held workshops all over the world, including in Japan, and also became known for his efforts to prevent and raise awareness about HIV/AIDS and promote children’s welfare. Haring died in 1990 at the age of 31 due to AIDS-related complications.
