KEITH HARING (1958-1990) Keith Haring Tony Shafrazi Gallery exhibition catalogue. Profusion of reproductions and photographic plates. 8vo, original spiral-bound neon pink pictorial wrappers, thin scrape across front cover at upper right, light finger soiling, fading at spine, and a few other minor surface imperfections. Designed by Dan Friedman printed at the Fleetwood Press. New York, 1982. The exhibition catalogue for the landmark show that launched Haring's career. Soon after its successful run, he was traveling worldwide and participating in international shows. Shafrazi said of Haring: "The originality was obvious and the vocabulary was almost like a dictionary of images . . . it wasn't art that was going to sit on the wall, it was art in movement"--John Gruen Keith Haring The Authorized Biography, New York, 1991.
