Our next Member Trip will be to The Columbia Museum of Art in Columbia, South Carolina, for a tour of the exhibition Keith Haring: Radiant Vision.
About the Artist:
Keith Haring (1958–1990) emerged as a shooting star of the New York art scene in the 1980s. His signature images include dancing figures, a "radiant baby," a barking dog, a flying saucer, large hearts, and figures with televisions for heads.
In the early ’80s, Haring created chalk drawings on the unused advertising panels in New York City subway stations. These drawings represented a unique conflation of studio practice and public art, cartoons and graffiti. They became familiar to commuters, who would often stop to engage with the artist. He also attracted the attention of city authorities, who arrested him for vandalism on numerous occasions.
Haring was socially conscious, and his murals often reflected his position on social issues. He sought to raise awareness of AIDS, fought against the proliferation of illegal drugs, and advocated for the end of Apartheid.
His simply drawn figures were soon to be found on watches and cars, T-shirts and shopping bags, turning Haring into one of the best-known artists of his generation. Radiant Vision is a collection that features over 250 original works including drawings on paper, lithographs, silkscreens, posters, and other items that illustrate the entire span of Keith Haring’s short but prolific career.
Ticket includes transportation to and from Hickory Museum of Art and tour of the exhibition. Attendees will be responsible for their own lunch, however there are lots of options in downtown Columbia near The Columbia Museum of Art.
*Trip is subject to cancellation if we do not have enough people sign up by October 4th.
