A new exhibition of pioneering artist Keith Haring’s subway sketches has shone a renewed light on his activism.
Voice of the Street: Keith Haring’s Subway Drawings at the Moco Museum in London features a vast collection work the artist created on a variety of used and unused advertising panels in New York in the 1980s.
Haring himself said that “art is for everybody” and he aimed to reach as many people as possible, commuters from all walks of life, as they were traveling on the subway.
The Independent visited the exhibition, which runs for the next three months, and spoke to museum co-founder Lionel Logchies about why Haring’s art and messages are still so important today.
