Keith Haring at Museum Folkwang (Essen / Germany), by Tobi187 on Aug 23, 2020 9:36:51 GMT 1, I could not make it yet but a friend went yesterday and he said that the collection is insane.

Museum Folkwang is presenting an extensive exhibition on the US artist Keith Haring. About 200 works, including large-format paintings and drawings, posters, photographs and videos will convey a broad cross-section of his oeuvre.
A spokesperson for his generation, in his work Haring responded to some of the urgent issues of his time, such as political dictatorships, racism, homophobia, drug addiction, Aids, capitalism and environmental destruction. His chalk drawings in the New York metro and murals in public spaces bear witness to Haringโs desire to make art accessible to all. The exhibition in Essen celebrates the creative spirit of the 1980s, which broke down the divisions between art and pop culture. It was in this context that Keith Haring invented his universal language, made up of signs that were immediately accessible to audiences everywhere. In doing so, he inscribed himself in the public consciousness โ in the midst of a media-saturated world of commerce.
Keith Haring died in 1990 of Aids-related complications, at just 31 years of age. He always spoke openly about his homosexuality and his HIV-positive status, making an important contribution to breaking the taboos around the illness. As an artist, he lent unique expression to universal concepts such as birth, death, love, war and compassion, creating an Oeuvre that remains as relevant today as it was at the time of its production.
In collaboration with the Keith Haring Foundation, Tate Liverpool, and BOZAR/Centre for Fine Arts Brussels.

Looks like there's quite a bit of interest, based on the numbers of likes/messages/replies I'm getting...
