Keith Haring’s art cars parked in NYC
A new gallery in NYC's East Village showcased two cars spray painted by Keith Haring, featuring images of 'barking dogs, babies, snakes, mushroom clouds, and other elements'. The exhibition, 'Keith Haring: In the Street', displayed the cars, a 1963 Buick Special and a 1971 Land Rover Series III, for the first time in NYC.
New York City's East Village hosted an exhibition featuring two cars spray painted by Keith Haring, a renowned artist known for his subway chalk drawings. The 'Keith Haring: In the Street' exhibit, held from April 10 to 19, showcased a 1963 Buick Special and a 1971 Land Rover Series III. Haring created over 5,000 subway chalk drawings between 1980 and 1985 before his death from AIDS at 31. The cars, featuring images of 'barking dogs, babies, snakes, mushroom clouds, and other elements', were hand-painted by Haring in his last 10 years. The Buick was the first car Haring ever painted, a gift for the architect of his SoHo Pop Shop. The Land Rover was previously showcased at Switzerland's Montreux Jazz Festival in 1983 and Los Angeles' Petersen Automotive Museum 10 years ago. The cars are owned by collector Larry Warsh, who stores them just outside of NYC.
