Keith Haring Ch 12 Interview

[@nayr497]

Have never heard him speak until today. He's seems like a peaceful, humble, gentle soul. RIP, Keith! You'll never be forgotten.

[@stefanianasuti69]

I totally agree.

[@uppergulliesgirl]

Well said! What an incredible loss to the art community and world in general- he had only just begun and probably had no idea just how much his work would be admired. One thing is for sure - he left his mark.

[@ssspit]

Literally same I’m seeking out interviews I’ve only seen pics of em he’s so adorable

[@nuascannan]

Yeah, he's got really good energy. I was just watching a doc about Basquiat and Keith was floating around. They made great contemporaries.

[@TheSingingBoy1234]

He exudes humility, intelligence, kindness, and love. I love the way he speaks.

[@michaelhermanson2755]

He was amazing

[@vocabularrygood9025]

Agree!

[@petemavus2948]

Ditto !

[@dantofoz11]

I love the way that he didn't seem to mind that he was being spoken to by Nan & Pop who had absolutely no idea who he was, or what he did. He answered their questions with zero attitude, and exuded calmness and kindness. I'm late on the scene with Keith, i'm lucky to live in Melbourne, where we have a fully restored haring mural, and it's a goal of mine to see as many of his works in the flash as I possibly can.

[@chelseagirl278]

what an ageist comment. these people may not know who he is - but they are learning. isn't that the point

[@dantofoz11]

@@chelseagirl278 Not at all! I was merely meaning there would be, and have been, plenty of famous musicians and artists that didn't talk to their interviewer with the respect that Keith did. That's all.

I love Haring’s work. He changed the way people were able to become part of the culture by making his works accessible to everyone. He will always be missed.

[@qhoffa9568]

His work is definitely legendary but chill out; he didn’t create graffiti lol

[@Moonlight-mz7mu]

One of the most important artists in the last 100 years. Thankful to witness his work.

[@TheChannelofaDisappointedMan]

Sure, the interviewers are squares, but they are extremely courteous and seem genuinely interested in Keith. Great interview.

they might be squares, but they show genuine interest and are very gracious toward keith. good interview.

[@LucasPenido]

Love the respect shown by the TV hosts. Keith lacks any presentation: One of the GOATS!

[@brucewalters8635]

Took my then 8 y/o daughter to an exhibit at Reading Pa. Museum where they had a large piece of wooden fencing with a mural on it from a construction site. My daughter loved it. Good artist to introduce to children.

[@Moonlight-mz7mu]

He was the first artist i ever learned about, or remember learning about that is. It influenced me and i revisted his work at 23 and completely changed my life again. Such an important artist.

[@Apollo_Blaze]

He was so beautiful...and So Real and not a hint of "artistic ego"....Such a huge talent.....Thank you for your beauty...love you always Keith

[@Seekyourtruth777]

Such a humble and cool guy ! Rest in Power !

[@dizel117]

Knew the art but never knew the artist. Barely a week ago I stumbled upon the documentary 'Keith Haring: Street Art Boy" and well, I am hooked. I so wish he was still alive ......

[@allanhernandez2508]

Same here. Now I am watching all videos pertaining to him.

[@vincentvancraig]

I like how he’s so polite and doesn’t put on reporters like Warhol always did.

[@crystalllllll]

Warhol was one of his inspirations.

[@MegaHi2345]

yes I had the same exact thought but to all you readers who aren't familiar with casual internet jokes (sometimes OBSCENETIES), they just clearly don't know how important this man's art is to the living people on this earth still

[@muffycrosswire]

“The drawing itself is the signature!” I said that to an art teacher as a kid bc she kept insisting I sign my work.

[@CookinCrack]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jaimemoreno1003]

Am reading "Radiant- the Life and Line of Keith Haring" right now and the thought just popped into my head to search Keith Haring on here. Glad I did- can continue reading with a clearer picture of him in my head. Wonderful artist and person!

[@gumrubberfilms8704]

Always great to discover something with Keith Haring I haven’t seen before, thanks for sharing!

[@danielesposito5051]

This interview is so great.. I love it because this news show still has no idea the artist Haring was about to be in a few years. Probably threw the original buttons to their kids. Cool backpack.

[@dianemarie1384]

love this real life interview. thanks

[@EmantheHeartbreak]

he sounds exactly how i thought he'd sound. gotta love this guy.

[@wiseguy9202]

I remember Keiths art SOOO well from when I was a child. I can remember seeing a piece and how it caught my eye as a kid and for some reason, the memory of the piece just stuck with me as if it impacted me. Thanks Keith Haring! RIP

[@VinylSpotlight77]

Truly gifted, an example of a solid artist ; works thru love of humanity

[@MegaMeco2]

Damn . I wish I could have a cup of coffee with him . He was taken before my time sadly.

[@myindigoblues5796]

They obviously don't get it, but he's just the sweetest. Love him 🧡🙏✌️😌 Little did they know his significance. Thank you

[@petemavus2948]

For their age and seeming unfamiliarity, I thought they shared Keith's joy, wonder and surprise nicely.

[@sharksport01]

They both wore those buttons on the day he died.

[@Dan-S-o2q]

Growing up in NYC; the "Crack is Wack," hand-ball court peice in Harlem, I remember the most, from the 1980's. It's still there, and refurbished.

[@RouxColdMilk]

"the best way to come across them, is to see them, and not know how they got there, or who made them." I love this so much. Walking up and seeing his work and wondering who made it and why sounds like such an interesting experience.

[@jflack6]

The greatest! My favorite artist ever. Became an artist bc of him 2:17 I have that tatted on me, respect!

[@brianmessitte4533]

My college professor met him while she was living in New York City back in the 80s. She said that he was very, very nice man. Also, my professor's last name is Haring as well.

[@haggerty-museum-of-art]

Thanks for sharing that! Yes, he was. Gone far too soon.

[@joeambrose3260]

Sounds like a phony coincidence

[@robgeist5315]

A true innovator. He “branded” himself in the subways before “branding” was a thing.

I love his clothing line. I was able to get my hands on one of his skirts from 1984 🥰 such a shame he passed away at a young age. What a wonderful man ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@bacht4799]

Question.. was he one of the most stylish artists in that era.. because besides his art he also have a great style in the clothing he is wearing.. it’s inspiring …!

[@ttllymxico]

@@bacht4799He was wearing what many were wearing

[@thegildedagemadonnabe]

​@bacht4799 A lot of his art was actually used for making women's clothing during the 1980s. During late 1983, he collaborated with British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood when she opened her store (World's End) in London. She had a collection called, "The Witches Collection" and the clothes were made out of fine heavy knit all done by hand using an analog knitting machine. The skirt Madonna wore in her 1984 music video for "Borderline" was the "Devil skirt" Keith lended his art for, and he gifted Madonna that skirt. They were only made for a limited time because of how many British pounds it costed to make them, which is why most of his clothing designs are tucked away in museums. During 2013, Japanese company Sly Official honored Keith, and his artwork and partnered with the Keith Haring Foundation to create the same fine knit pieces with his art on them. If you're lucky you might find a few on Ebay. As for Keith himself, he was mostly just a jeans, t shirt, and hoodie kind of guy. He mostly cared about making the world a better place through his art.

[@adamseidel8901]

I’m watching the Warhol diaries and came here because I’d never heard harings voice. Based on how Warhol describes him in his diary I certainly did not expect him to come off as so pleasant, quiet and humble. Which leads me to believe either haring was a chameleon or Warhol was a bit jealous of him. Though harings insanely huge ascent to the pinnacle of the art world didn’t happen until after his passing. I have a family friend who bought an original haring in the mid nineties for I think 20k and I guess Sotheby’s contacted them last year saying it could go at auction for upwards of 1mil. Insane

[@Moonlight-mz7mu]

What did warhol say about keith haring???

[@collagecult]

Anyone can do an interview and appear poised and humble. How to talk with friends and artistic peers is going to be very different from a formal interview.
