They will apparently grant a license to slap his art on anything and everything.
Enough!

He didn't have any kids, so who's benefiting from all this anyway? His siblings? Fucking leeches.

Where did you see the latest excess merch? Give an example, please. I bought a carry sack from H&M last season and I actually love it. It's very well made and sturdy.

Personally I like how some of his art is being used. This is a new park at the Belmont Rocks (the former "gay beach" before there was a real gay beach) in Boystown.

I love that statue, R3. Great use of his work—and very different than putting it on beanies at Urban Outfitters and socks at the Gap.

My friend said years ago he looked like a PRAYING MANTIS.

I’m not OP but I saw some Keith Haring things in at Target last week, and that Ruggable washable rug company sells KH doormats and stuff.

His “art” is ugly and simple minded. There is no there there.

He was also slapping his art onnanhth8ngband everything to support his drug habit.

Estates milking it are disgusting. The ultimate nepo babies or interlopers. The moment an artist dies it should be in the public domain.

Customers who buy items freaturing Haring work do so because it's meaningful to them and the message is positive. These items are low or moderately priced and popular commodities for average folks. Where is the harm in this? It's not $2K spent on a Taylor Swift concert "experience".

[quote]Where is the harm in this?
Putting his art on tank tops for finance bros who mostly know nothing about Haring or his life divorces the art from its social and political context—and saps it of its power in the process. We live in an age of decontexualization, and it's a bad road.

Why do you care? It's none of your fucking business, cunt.

This may be a terribly naive question, but was Keith Haring big before he died? Like, did he see the fruits of his labor and make a living as only an artist? I don't know the timeline.

I work with dogs and we all wear Haring shirts with dogs on them. Everybody loves them

I used to buy Andy Warhol gift wrap and holiday cards and now I can't find either anywhere, not even from the goddammed Andy Warhol Museum. What gives on that? Do these things run in cycles? Dead artist's popularity ebbs and flows?
