“The world is this thing around me that I made for myself and I see for myself. The world will, however, go on without me being there to see it, it just won’t be ‘my’ world then. That is what interests me most about the situation I am in now. I am making things in the world that won’t go away when I do.” –Keith Haring, journal entry, 4 May 1982

Keith Haring’s tech-art prophecy
I saw this brilliant Keith Haring painting (‘Untitled’) last week at a preview for the Christie’sPost-War and Contemporary Art evening auction. It was painted in 1984, the beginning of the Mac computers era, and the pyramid with the raised hands underneath is supposed to represent the idea of the false worship of technology. How prophetic!
WhatKeith Haringand his fellow pop artists did so well…

Keith Haring photographed by Janette Beckman in his studio for the Daily News Magazine, 1985.
In 1985 I was working for the New York Daily News magazine when they asked me to shoot Keith Haring for a cover story – I was already a big fan, I knew Keith’s work from the subway and my friend Kim (Paper mag) who’s home phone was decorated by Keith. So one afternoon I went to his studio on LaGuardia place. It was packed with paintings, and things Keith had covered in his signature style. There were tags from friends all over the walls, art from the likes of Warhol, paint pots, a Mickey Mouse phone, his bike, a decorated boom box, stuff everywhere. He was a lovely man, he posed for me and we chatted all afternoon. He gave me a massive ‘Free South Africa’ signed poster which I treasure, it hangs over my desk today.
