Diskussion:Times Square Show

In the beginning, Keith Haring and his friends did not have an open door to galleries and museums – even in the United States. In 1980, the 22-year-old Keith Haring took part in the now legendary Times Square Show. The artists exhibited their works in an abandoned building located, in one of the then-crumbling centers of New York. Their works expressed their close contact with urban culture. Alternative exhibition spaces were at that time the only means of staging large-scale and independent events of this type. The European artistic group Normal also exhibited at the Times Square Show. This may have been the closest that Keith Haring came to meeting Czech artists at any exhibition.
