Keith Haring – Exhibition at Tate Liverpool

Haring was a great collaborator and worked with like-minded artists such as Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. All were interested in creating art for the many. Haring designed record covers for RUN DMC and David Bowie, directed a music video for Grace Jones and developed a fashion line with Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood. In doing so, he introduced his art and ideas to as many people as possible. Discover how activism played a key role in Haring’s art.

Writing for Widewalls, Bob Lansroth makes an effort to bring the world of art to as many people as possible. “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” Ever wanted to get rid of a bad meal just by removing the drain stopper from your plate?

Judges for the £100,000 Art Fund prize said the Whitworth had cemented its place as the centre of the cultural national stage.
