In May 2010, Carmichael Gallery will present “Keith Haring – Urban Legend”, a selection of original works by world-renowned American artist Keith Haring. On display in the gallery’s rooms will be over 20 original works on canvas, paper, vintage street signs and a rare vinyl blow up “Radiant Baby Doll” from Haring’s 27th birthday party in 1985.

Recognized as one of the most significant artists of the twentieth century, Carmichael Gallery is proud to present an exhibition honoring his iconic visual language in honor of the 20th anniversary of his passing. Emerging in the Soho alternative art scene and rising to international fame in the mid-1980s, he is associated today with artists such as Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. His large, remarkably cohesive body of work, which spans just over a decade, is distinguished by iconic, bold figures and an expressive, socially-informed aesthetic, the effortless fluidity and accessible nature of which encompass elements from and bridge the gap between subversive and mainstream contemporary art.
