[mizike06]

if I had the money I would buy that space and make a hot new york art gallery for emerging artists...

it's a shame..

Actually, my cousin and her husband who purchased the restaurant, found the painting when they were converting it into their condo. You can not see it in this video b/c they covered it up (as you can see with the white overlay), the painting is a very erotic painting, full of penises!! I saw it first-hand!

this once again proves that money is valued much more by people then art.

I am still wondering what happened to the wall in "Sound Factory"? that was MASSIVE!

I do not live too far from this area and i am thinking about going to see the space and take some pictures if possible. I don't know if it is available for viewings , but i would like to be in that very room where Keith stood, squatted, and sweat while making this piece. As a teen in the 80's many a times I would b coming home late from school or work and would see Keith doing graffiti in chalk on the blank advertisement spaces. I love Keith Haring.

you are just a jealous hater. Up your skills b/c You wish someone would notice your work while your ALIVE.

[lessupastar]

no, it was not doodles and it's apparent that you wouldn't know art if it came and kicked you in your ass. Keith was an amazing artist that was and still is well respected in the art community. If Andy Warhol endorsed him as he did, then who really cares what you think?

What do you mean "It's just an added thing"...this is ar at its best!

[hairypolack]

I never knew him and no- I was even close to as successful as he was. Im glad you two were friends, but Im entitled to my opinion. I cant have an opinion on him as a person, but I can have an opinion on his art, and I think its just doodles.
