The Brant Foundation is currently showing Keith Haring, an exhibition of works by the American artist. Revisiting Haring’s formative years of 1980–1983, the exhibition traces his meteoric rise from the subways of New York to international fame. The exhibition will be on view until May 31st, 2026, at the Foundation’s East Village space in the bustling downtown neighborhood where a young Haring began his career.

Curated by Dr. Dieter Buchhart and Dr. Anna Karina Hofbauer, the exhibition features a selection of landmark masterworks that defined Haring’s early career. Included are works from the artist’s 1982 exhibition at Tony Shafrazi Gallery, where Haring’s legendary Blacklight Room immersed audiences in glowing, ephemeral color, as well as from the FUN Gallery show of 1983, a pioneering venue on the Lower East Side that championed the fusion of street-art and gallery culture.

A Milestone Celebration

It was against this backdrop, during Frieze New York, that we gathered to celebrate Crozier's 50th Anniversary, a tribute to five decades of work and the community that shaped it.
