Well said! What an incredible loss to the art community and world in general- he had only just begun and probably had no idea just how much his work would be admired. One thing is for sure - he left his mark.
I love the way that he didn't seem to mind that he was being spoken to by Nan & Pop who had absolutely no idea who he was, or what he did. He answered their questions with zero attitude, and exuded calmness and kindness. I'm late on the scene with Keith, i'm lucky to live in Melbourne, where we have a fully restored haring mural, and it's a goal of mine to see as many of his works in the flash as I possibly can.
@@chelseagirl278 Not at all! I was merely meaning there would be, and have been, plenty of famous musicians and artists that didn't talk to their interviewer with the respect that Keith did. That's all.
I love Haring’s work. He changed the way people were able to become part of the culture by making his works accessible to everyone. He will always be missed.
Took my then 8 y/o daughter to an exhibit at Reading Pa. Museum where they had a large piece of wooden fencing with a mural on it from a construction site. My daughter loved it. Good artist to introduce to children.
He was the first artist i ever learned about, or remember learning about that is. It influenced me and i revisted his work at 23 and completely changed my life again. Such an important artist.
Am reading "Radiant- the Life and Line of Keith Haring" right now and the thought just popped into my head to search Keith Haring on here. Glad I did- can continue reading with a clearer picture of him in my head. Wonderful artist and person!
Knew the art but never knew the artist. Barely a week ago I stumbled upon the documentary 'Keith Haring: Street Art Boy" and well, I am hooked. I so wish he was still alive ......
"the best way to come across them, is to see them, and not know how they got there, or who made them." I love this so much. Walking up and seeing his work and wondering who made it and why sounds like such an interesting experience.
My college professor met him while she was living in New York City back in the 80s. She said that he was very, very nice man. Also, my professor's last name is Haring as well.
This interview is so great.. I love it because this news show still has no idea the artist Haring was about to be in a few years. Probably threw the original buttons to their kids. Cool backpack.
yes I had the same exact thought but to all you readers who aren't familiar with casual internet jokes (sometimes OBSCENETIES), they just clearly don't know how important this man's art is to the living people on this earth still
I love his clothing line. I was able to get my hands on one of his skirts from 1984 🥰 such a shame he passed away at a young age. What a wonderful man ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Question.. was he one of the most stylish artists in that era.. because besides his art he also have a great style in the clothing he is wearing.. it’s inspiring …!
@bacht4799 A lot of his art was actually used for making women's clothing during the 1980s. During late 1983, he collaborated with British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood when she opened her store (World's End) in London. She had a collection called, "The Witches Collection" and the clothes were made out of fine heavy knit all done by hand using an analog knitting machine. The skirt Madonna wore in her 1984 music video for "Borderline" was the "Devil skirt" Keith lended his art for, and he gifted Madonna that skirt. They were only made for a limited time because of how many British pounds it costed to make them, which is why most of his clothing designs are tucked away in museums. During 2013, Japanese company Sly Official honored Keith, and his artwork and partnered with the Keith Haring Foundation to create the same fine knit pieces with his art on them. If you're lucky you might find a few on Ebay. As for Keith himself, he was mostly just a jeans, t shirt, and hoodie kind of guy. He mostly cared about making the world a better place through his art.
I remember Keiths art SOOO well from when I was a child. I can remember seeing a piece and how it caught my eye as a kid and for some reason, the memory of the piece just stuck with me as if it impacted me. Thanks Keith Haring! RIP
That was such a hard period in the city, many great artists, designers, creatives, intellectuals, activists, social scientists etc. were lost leaving a void in humanity and culture that took many years to heal.
Y pensar que su arte lo empezó demonstrando en los metros de NY y eso lo llevo a demostrar su arte alrededor del mundo. Sin duda uno de los grandes artistas de finales del siglo XX.
I’m watching the Warhol diaries and came here because I’d never heard harings voice. Based on how Warhol describes him in his diary I certainly did not expect him to come off as so pleasant, quiet and humble. Which leads me to believe either haring was a chameleon or Warhol was a bit jealous of him. Though harings insanely huge ascent to the pinnacle of the art world didn’t happen until after his passing. I have a family friend who bought an original haring in the mid nineties for I think 20k and I guess Sotheby’s contacted them last year saying it could go at auction for upwards of 1mil. Insane
Anyone can do an interview and appear poised and humble. How to talk with friends and artistic peers is going to be very different from a formal interview.
Remember his work all over the city back then while I thought of Joni Mitchell's song " and he played real good for free ". May he rest in peace this seemingly gentle, generous kindred soul to many.
Okay I know this interview is about Harring and I don't want to take the spotlight off of him, but what on earth is the ad on the right at 1:10 for "DON'T BUT A CHICKEN,"?
He seemed so stuck up in Nelson Sullivan's video. Maybe he just didn't like being filmed candidly. He reminds me a lot of Andy Kaufman when Andy was being sincere.
We lost some good people to aids back in the day. I remember working at Telecharge and the employees were literally dropping like flies every week there was a death or talk of a death. Keith was one of the casualties of that era. I wish he was still around to comment on the political scene these days he would’ve made a great elder statesman to up-and-coming artists
You can learn more about the creation of the fence at: artsandculture.google.com/exhibit/keith-haring-construction-fence-haggerty-museum/4QIi4sT6tnGrKw?hl=en Haring worked with Marquette University students, faculty, and staff.
You can tell that the interviewers are apart of that really old generation that doesn’t get shit lol😂😂 i always loved the 80’s going into the 90’s bc of the amount of social change and pop culture change that was happening
1:00- "Is this legal or not. Oh, it`s illegal. hahaha!" ah, the double standards! This pseudo-artist was able to get away with his illegal and very childish work in the NY subway stations not because of his great talent (his work speaks for itself) but because of his close proximity and patronage from another pseudo-artist: Andy Warhol. Haring made tons of money his so-called art throughout his lifetime.
BTW, so did Warhol. They both saw art as an industry they could profit from. nothing wrong with that. its up to the spectator or art historian to value Haring or Warhol`s works and consider they are important in art history.
Have never heard him speak until today. He's seems like a peaceful, humble, gentle soul. RIP, Keith! You'll never be forgotten.
I totally agree.
Well said! What an incredible loss to the art community and world in general- he had only just begun and probably had no idea just how much his work would be admired. One thing is for sure - he left his mark.
Literally same I’m seeking out interviews I’ve only seen pics of em he’s so adorable
Yeah, he's got really good energy. I was just watching a doc about Basquiat and Keith was floating around. They made great contemporaries.
He exudes humility, intelligence, kindness, and love. I love the way he speaks.
He was amazing
Agree!
Ditto !

what an ageist comment. these people may not know who he is - but they are learning. isn't that the point
@@chelseagirl278 Not at all! I was merely meaning there would be, and have been, plenty of famous musicians and artists that didn't talk to their interviewer with the respect that Keith did. That's all.
@@dantofoz11 thank you for clarifying. you are right he seemed like a respectful person without ego which is refreshing
@@chelseagirl278 No problem at all! Honestly, thanks for the exchange!
it is wonderful to talk about Keith, his memory, talent and incredible legacy!
I love Haring’s work. He changed the way people were able to become part of the culture by making his works accessible to everyone. He will always be missed.
His work is definitely legendary but chill out; he didn’t create graffiti lol
Sure, the interviewers are squares, but they are extremely courteous and seem genuinely interested in Keith. Great interview.
they may be "squares" but they are interested and respectful
@@chelseagirl278 he said that
@@EmantheHeartbreak yes I know, I am just reiterating that. I loved how he gave them pins
They actually asked very good questions, which would help people who did not know who Keith Haring was/is !
they might be squares, but they show genuine interest and are very gracious toward keith. good interview.
One of the most important artists in the last 100 years. Thankful to witness his work.
Damn . I wish I could have a cup of coffee with him . He was taken before my time sadly.
Took my then 8 y/o daughter to an exhibit at Reading Pa. Museum where they had a large piece of wooden fencing with a mural on it from a construction site. My daughter loved it. Good artist to introduce to children.

I like how he’s so polite and doesn’t put on reporters like Warhol always did.
Warhol was one of his inspirations.
Also Warhol was autistic. He had a hard time with interviews.
agreed
@@auntiewarhol6414warhol knew what he was doing and if you think that he fooled you lmao. Warhol was a genius
@@Moonlight-mz7mu
Most autistic people are very intelligent. I definitely do think he’s a genius. Definitely not fooled by his Intelligence. lmao
He was so beautiful...and So Real and not a hint of "artistic ego"....Such a huge talent.....Thank you for your beauty...love you always Keith
Such a humble and cool guy ! Rest in Power !
he sounds exactly how i thought he'd sound. gotta love this guy.
They obviously don't get it, but he's just the sweetest. Love him 🧡🙏✌️😌 Little did they know his significance. Thank you
For their age and seeming unfamiliarity, I thought they shared Keith's joy, wonder and surprise nicely.
They both wore those buttons on the day he died.

Sounds like a phony coincidence
love this real life interview. thanks
This interview is so great.. I love it because this news show still has no idea the artist Haring was about to be in a few years. Probably threw the original buttons to their kids. Cool backpack.
Always great to discover something with Keith Haring I haven’t seen before, thanks for sharing!
A true innovator. He “branded” himself in the subways before “branding” was a thing.
Lol. The interviewers are the whitest people I have ever seen.
OBSCENITIES
Who is the blackest person you've ever seen?
yes I had the same exact thought but to all you readers who aren't familiar with casual internet jokes (sometimes OBSCENETIES), they just clearly don't know how important this man's art is to the living people on this earth still
“The drawing itself is the signature!” I said that to an art teacher as a kid bc she kept insisting I sign my work.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love his clothing line. I was able to get my hands on one of his skirts from 1984 🥰 such a shame he passed away at a young age. What a wonderful man ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

Growing up in NYC; the "Crack is Wack," hand-ball court peice in Harlem, I remember the most, from the 1980's. It's still there, and refurbished.
The greatest! My favorite artist ever. Became an artist bc of him 2:17 I have that tatted on me, respect!
Truly gifted, an example of a solid artist ; works thru love of humanity
......he said "its for you".......
assassination gimp One of the best things I’ve ever heard ❤️
My regret standing outside the pop shop and not going in. I don’t even know the reason I must’ve been out of my mind
Such a beautiful human, test in peace such a shame to have lost such an amazing person.
That was such a hard period in the city, many great artists, designers, creatives, intellectuals, activists, social scientists etc. were lost leaving a void in humanity and culture that took many years to heal.
Parts of this seem in reverse. He'll say something and they'll ask a question that he just already explained.
That's called an inexperienced interviewer who knows nothing of their subject...
thank you for uploading this!

Keith was one of a kind a true artist in every sense of the word. Brilliant ❤❤❤

Those buttons are priceless now
No they aren't, lol, I have a drawer full.
thank you for uploading this
What a charming man. Love him.
Nice guy. RIP. I love his art
I love everything about this interview.
Genius, sweet, prophet for the politics of our time, not just the 1980's
he’s such a lovely lovely man
Wow, Keith es un hombre tan increíble e inspirador. Me ha inspirado a hacer arte y ser más creativa en todos los aspectos de mi vida

absolute nice guy!
Here in Sweden he had designed some art that was printed on swedish milk cartons. As a kid I saw the art on the cartons while eating breakfast.
very thoughtful of him to give the interviewers the badges
I really want one of those buttons now.
What a nice gentle guy. No pretentiousness with him or his art.
thank you for sharing :-)
Keith Haring + Howard + Rosemary: mindblown!
Awesome interview!
💚love his dolphins and angels
I loved this interview
RIP 🖤

GENIUS
6:05 “I drew this for you.”

That comparison makes no sense

I bet the badges are worth a fortune! I also bet thoes 2 discarded them 🤦🏻♂️

02:49 But there is only one who is white.
And he seemed very mean in Andy’s Netflix
Keith Haring stole his originals from a man named Angel Ortiz from Queens. He still makes this abstract artwork till this day

Psuedo-artist? The guy was able to paint entire murals in the span of just a few hours. I don't care for Warhol, but Keith definitely had talent.
he's really talented! come on!
He didnt get off, he was fined and paid his fines. These were the days before the militarized police and draconian punishments.
