KEITH HARING & ANDY WARHOL

«Haring didn't have Warhol's range or complexity or genius at getting under the skin of the culture. But one could say that Haing became a sort of mini-Warhol and in one way went beyond his idol. Because of the tenor of the times Haring's queer sexuality was much more out front than Warhol's enigmatic image, behaviour and sensibility. But Warhol's need to belong to be a star among stars was shared by Haring. He was an american kid who equated-at least at the beginning success with public recognition and media validation».
