Keith Haring in Berlin
This is a photograph I took of a photograph in an outdoor exhibition near the Berlin wall. It shows the great Keith Haring doing his thing on the Berlin Wall.
What it does not tell you is that he painted over the street art of some other chaps who had been invited by the Wall Museum, along with Haring, to create works on the wall. Thierry Noir and Christoph Boucher's 42 statues of Liberty ( you can make out the faint outlines in the pic) were all whitewashed and Haring then painted over them! Haring was not in the know until Thierry Noir turned up and asked what the hell was going on. The wall had been primed the day before by the staff of the museum. Apparently footage exists of the confrontation between Keith and Thierry!
