The Columbia Museum of Art is gearing up for the reveal of their fall exhibition, Keith Haring: Radiant Vision, which opens this Saturday, September 27.
Radiant Vision is a collection of drawings on paper, lithographs, silkscreens, posters, and other items that illustrate the entire span of Keith Haring’s short career. Haring (1958–1990) emerged as a star of the New York art scene in the 1980s. His signature images include dancing figures, a radiant baby, a barking dog, a flying saucer, large hearts, and figures with televisions for heads.
Haring was socially conscious, and his murals often reflected his position on social issues. He sought to raise awareness of AIDS, fought against the proliferation of illegal drugs, and advocated for the end of Apartheid.
