Keith Haring: Radiant Vision at Fenimore Art Museum
Keith Haring (1958–1990) was arguably the most accomplished and prominent American artist of the 1980s. During the course of his brief ten-year career, Haring rewrote the rule book for contemporary art, integrating the seemingly disparate arenas of New York City's gritty downtown counterculture and uptown art aristocracy.
This summer, Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown celebrates both the art icon and his iconography in Keith Haring: Radiant Vision, a premier exhibition that introduces a new generation to Haring. Featuring an extensive collection of lithographs, silkscreens, drawings on paper, and posters, the exhibition describes the full arc of Haring's short but prolific career. Visitors will instantly recognize seminal images like "Radiant Baby" -- images that permeated American culture in the 1980s, became emblematic of the time, and are powerful examples of how Haring fought for change, using art as a platform for activism. The exhibition features over 100 works from a private collection working in tandem with the Fenimore as a tribute to this iconic artist and his dedication to social justice and the betterment of youth worldwide.
The exhibit runs from May 29 to September 6, 2021. Admission is free for young people ages 19 and under.
