In New York, during the conservatism of the Reagan era, Keith Haring (1958–1990) made it his mission to highlight social evils in his work. He took a clear stance against the excesses of capitalism and was committed to nuclear disarmament, environmental protection and equal rights for all, irrespective of ethnicity, skin colour, religion or sexual orientation. This retrospective focuses on the political and sociocritical aspects of Haring’s oeuvre, which have been somewhat overlooked in previous exhibitions.
