Andy Warhol and Keith Haring had a lot in common. Both grew up in Pennsylvania and were raised in conservative Christian families. Both were gay men who found their milieu in New York City’s club scene, and their calling in art. And, of course, both were purveyors of Pop. Warhol, older by 30 years, inspired the young Haring. In 1986, after tagging subways and spray painting the streets, Haring opened the Pop Shop, on Lafayette Street, where he sold affordable art work and activist posters. Warhol was already experimenting with silkscreens of New York’s biggest icons. This exhibition, the first museum show dedicated to the two artists, celebrates the 1980s, hip-hop, disco, and the New Wave with 130 works by Warhol and Haring. —Elena Clavarino
