About the Exhibition
Keith Haring: A Radiant Legacy celebrates the iconic artist’s life, work, and activism through 240+ Haring artworks and objects, a selection from Haring’s personal art collection, 20 objects from Angel Ortiz (LAII), and a community youth partnership.
Haring taught and celebrated youth from all communities during his brief career, and MoPOP’s Youth Advisory Board has taken up that mantle, amplifying young voices, building community through curating local youth artists for the exhibition, and fostering safe spaces for true creative expression.
Considered Haring’s closest collaborator and friend throughout the 1980s, Angel Ortiz—Little Angel, LAII, or LA 2—a Puerto Rican street artist brought his raw talent for graffiti art and superb compositional eye into conversation with Haring’s own signature style, resulting in a profoundly impactful artistic partnership.
