"The Brant Foundation is about to revive the East Village as a downtown arts mecca.

The Brant Foundation will open 'Keith Haring' on March 11, 2026, at its East 6th Street space near Haring's early stomping grounds. The exhibition concentrates on Haring's output from 1980 to 1983, highlighting his transition from subway chalk drawings to international prominence. Curators Dr. Dieter Buchhart and Dr. Anna Karina Hofbauer assembled landmark works from Haring's early gallery shows, including selections from the 1982 Tony Shafrazi Blacklight Room and the 1983 FUN Gallery exhibition. The show emphasizes Haring's emerging visual vocabulary—grinning faces, kinetic dogs, psychedelic Mickey Mouse motifs, and charged vibrating lines—and notes his activism around causes like the AIDS crisis.
