Week one of 52 Photographs is a portrait using a mirror. I decided to go for a self portrait to kick things off the way I did last year. Next week's prompt is to fill the frame with purple things!
I guess I do not need to write too much about Keith. He was a regular at Club 57 and had his first shows there. He took off as an artist not so long after. An inspiring person and artist of the early 80's in New York. I photographed him at one of his first shows outside of Club 57 somewhere on the west side of New York City.

Metallskulptur von Keith Haring für die Skulptur Projekte 1987.
Als Standort wählte Haring das ehemalige Zoogelände, der im 19. Jahrhundert von dem im Titel genannten Hermann Landois gegründet wurde und Mitte der 1970er einem Bankgebäude weichen musste. Die Figur könnte lt. Haring verstanden werden als "Geist der Tiere des alten Zoos und der Geist von Landois selbst, die sich aus dem Boden erheben, um aus Protest das neue Gebäude anzubellen".
Das Gebäude im Hintergrund hat er damit natürlich nicht gemeint!
Die Skulptur wurde leider abgebaut.

This wall is the last one relised by Keith Haring in 1989, few month before his death
My very recent post of a canvas recreation of one of the first handball court masterpieces played an important part in the evolution of graffiti. While viewing this Keith Haring masterpiece the interesting art history story continues to unfold at the site of this East Harlem handball court. A still intact handball court that helped escalate graffiti from vandalism to art in the public eye can be seen to this day.
There were two distinct ways this wall played an important role in graffiti art history. The first positive impression was a matter of real estate, location and exposure. Right alongside of the FDR Drive, unlike the authoritarian viewpoint of graffiti art that must date back to ancient Rome, east side automobile commuters saw a graffiti social message every morning.
The other means of elevation was one of changing views at the level of government. When Keith Haring painted this handball court wall it was not sanctioned, in fact this masterpiece started out as an act of vandalism, but once the Department of Parks took notice and ever since the work has been treated as a protected work of art. The park has even changed the name of the park and the wall has become a NYC landmark.
The mural is of great historic value beyond art history now. For each morning commuter, the wall is a reminder of how this shining city was a few decades back. 1986, the raging crack-cocaine epidemic and the way this city seemed like a burned out war zone. Today this cry against an epidemic that was destroying the city has become a positive message of social progress.

This quite striking temporary addition to the gallery logo, is probably inspired by the current exhibition of work by the late Gay artist, Keith Haring (1958-1990), and the enfant terrible of the New York art scene, Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988).
"Non penso che l'arte sia propaganda; dovrebbe invece essere qualcosa che libera l'anima, favorisce l'immaginazione ed incoraggia la gente ad andare avanti." Keith Haring
Il rosso è uno dei colori più forti. E' come il sangue, colpisce l'occhio. Credo che sia per questo che i semafori sono rossi, così come i segnali di stop. Uso sempre il rosso nelle mie opere. (Keith Haring)
