de Young’s Keith Haring: The Political Line Opening Makes a Huge Splash
Author:Lindsey ShookHere in San Francisco, there are quite a few things we hold near and dear to our heart, but art and activism surely top the list for most. As a pioneer of both, Keith Haring left a lasting impression on this fair city with his bold approaches to raise awareness for the AIDS epidemic, among other things, and the opening party certainly did not disappoint his legacy. Complete with surprise breakdancing and an excellently executed bar, San Francisco’s elite came out in droves to celebrate the trailblazing artist.
