A few gems from 'Keith Haring: Manhattan Penis Drawings for Ken Hicks,' in honor or Haring's birthday, May 4, 1958. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Of this remarkable little paperback, published by @nievesbooks John Sherman of @hyperallergic writes, "It may seem unusual to uphold a book of penis drawings as a significant art-historical moment, but 'Manhatten Penis Drawings for Ken Hicks' creates an unignorable link between Haring's early work and his homosexuality. The drawings are lightheartedly homosexual in a way not possible since the discovery of 'gay-related immune deficiency' (GRID) in 1982. In light of the forceful politics of Haring's later work, his penis drawings are, in a sense, the least complicated of his phallocentric art. They have no social message to impart, no silent president to shock into action. Keith Haring just really liked penises."⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #keithharing #writingthefuture #keithharingpenisdrawings #penisdrawings @keithharingfoundation @haring_archive https://www.instagram.com/p/COdSp_vJx9S/?igshid=3z0q6qne7hq6
