Keith Haring 1958-1990 USA
Eight Ball
According to the artist’s brief introduction in this volume in Kyoto Shoin’s ArT RANDOM series, the guiding principles for the series of collages made specifically for this book were chance and intuition. He composed these visually arresting images by rummaging through drawers full of old clippings, then cutting and pasting at random and painting over them with gouache and black sumi ink. The result is a mediation on love, life, art, and death. While many of the late artist’s signature elements are present, this book also holds a number of surprises. 46 pp., 31.0 x 23.5cm, hardback, printed offset. Published by Kyoto Shoin International, Kyoto.
