I already wrote my love letter to Keith Haring when I reviewed \u201cHaring-isms\u201d edited by Larry Warsh<\/a> back in 2020, so I won\u2019t rehash it here. Let\u2019s just say Haring and his art has a special place in my heart. It\u2019s all why I was thrilled when Princeton University Press reached out to me again with a Keith Haring book.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ \u201cKeith Haring: 31 Subway Drawings\u201d features a handful (31 to be exact) of examples of Haring\u2019s prolific New York subway graffiti era. The contributions of several authors (Jeffrey Deitch, Henry Geldzahler, Carlo McCormick, and Larry Warsh), including a reprinting of \u201cThe Subway is Still My Favorite Place to Draw\u201d by Keith Haring that originally appeared in \u201cArt in Transit: Subway Drawings\u201d, \u201c31 Subway Drawings\u201d re-examines this important era in Haring\u2019s art and public art of the era in general.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Larry Warsh\u2019s efforts to collect Haring\u2019s subway chalk drawings (an act he knew Haring wasn\u2019t necessarily a fan of) and photographer Tseng Kwong Chi\u2019s work photographing Haring and his subway art out in the wild, \u201c31 Subway Drawings\u201d does an excellent job showcasing the work.<\/p>\n

Here you can see the fruits of Warsh\u2019s and Chi\u2019s labors.
