Keith Haring's Vision of Art for All Explored in Video
A video by Alberto Mattia Martini examines Keith Haring's belief that art should be accessible to everyone and everywhere. Haring (1958–1990) began his career in the New York subway, drawing on black advertising panels. He bridged the official art world of galleries and museums with street expression, including that from the city's rough neighborhoods. In just one decade (1980–1990), he became one of the most popular artists of his time. The video is part of Artribune's 'Art one shot' series.
