Immersing himself in New York\u2019s downtown culture, he quickly became a fixture on the artistic scene, befriending other artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Kenny Scharf, as well as many of the most innovative cultural figures of the period. The critical role that these relationships played in Haring\u2019s development as a public artist and facilitator of group exhibitions and performances is also explored. Pieces on view include a number of very early works never before seen in public; seven video pieces, including\u00a0<em>Painting Myself into a Corner <\/em>(his first video piece) and\u00a0<em>Tribute to Gloria Vanderbilt<\/em>; and collages created from cut-up fragments of his own writing, history textbooks, and newspapers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brooklynmuseum.org\/exhibitions\/keith_haring\/\"><em>Brooklyn Museum<\/em><\/a>, 200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, New York, 718-638-5000, through July 8<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keith Haring: 1978\u20131982\u00a0is the first large-scale exhibition to explore the early career of one of the best-known American artists of the twentieth century.
