Sky Arte dedicates a night to street art legends from Haring to Banksy

On Thursday, May 4, the anniversary of Keith Haring's birth in 1958, Sky Arte airs a special evening dedicated to street art icons. At 9:15 PM, the series 'Inspired' focuses on Haring's career between 1980s New York and Brazil, where he painted murals at Kenny Scharf's home in Serra Grande. At 10:15 PM, 'Andy Warhol – An Intimate Portrait' features archival footage and interviews, including Warhol's remarks on 'Saturday Night Live' from 'The South Bank Show' hosted by Melvyn Bragg (1978–2010). At 11:35 PM, Sara Driver's documentary 'Boom For Real' explores Jean-Michel Basquiat's late teenage years, when he was homeless, created graffiti as SAMO, and carried a stereo. At 1:00 AM, 'Banksy – The Art of Rebellion' traces the anonymous artist's origins in Bristol's underground scene, with his first graffiti in 1990, and his politicized, subversive work that challenged the establishment.
