Keith Haring in Melbourne
Keith Haring was an artist whose graffiti became famous in New York in the 1980's. He took his distinctive style to cities around the world, making him possibly the worlds first celebrity street artist.
Haring visited Australia in 1984 and his mural at the Collingwood Technical School in Melbourne is one of the largest surviving Haring outdoor murals outside the United States.

THE UNIVERSE OF KEITH HARING (Sun 1 Nov)
The creator of some of the most popular, enduring images of late 20th-century art, Keith Haring was also an iconic figure of the downtown New York scene in the '80s. Christina Clausen's documentary offers an affectionate, deeply personal glimpse into Haring's life, from his early years growing up in a small, conservative Pennsylvania town to his heyday as a world-renowned artist, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Madonna, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Andy Warhol.
