MOPOP is honored to present Keith Haring: A Radiant Legacy, a special exhibition offering an in-depth celebration of the iconic artist’s life, work, and activism from NYC to Seattle through 240+ Haring artworks and objects, a selection from Haring’s personal art collection, 20 objects from Angel Ortiz (LAII), and a community youth partnership.

Arguably the most accomplished and prominent American artist of the 1980s, Haring rewrote the rulebook for contemporary art during his tragically short ten-year career, bringing together NYC street culture, commercial accessibility, and passionate activism with his exuberant and instantly recognizable graphic lexicon.
Haring taught and celebrated youth from all communities during his brief career, and MOPOP’s Youth Advisory Board has taken up that mantle, amplifying young voices, building community through curating local youth artists for the exhibition, and fostering safe spaces for true creative expression.
Considered Haring’s closest collaborator and friend throughout the 1980s, Angel Ortiz—Little Angel, LAII, or LA 2—a Puerto Rican street artist brought his raw talent for graffiti art and superb compositional eye into conversation with Haring’s own signature style, resulting in a profoundly impactful artistic partnership.
