since i caught a documentary on him last night i'm completely
enthralled again.

i've always loved his artwork but never knew too much about
keith himself.

that whole era he comes from, the entire scene. hanging with
andy and basquiat or madonna in the early 80s new york and
the clubbing.

i love to read about artists and their circles. wether it's
reading about Henri Roussea, Salvador Dali or Byron. The more
detailed the better. when i'm reading a bio there is no such
thing as "too much information" or "too much detail".

so a book on keith couldn't be big and extensive enough for
me.

and if not on keith directly, perhaps something about that
whole culture he emerged from and moved around in? the whole
club scene in new york around that time fascinates me. so
any tips on good material regarding that era are also welcome!

thanks

i was thinking of starting with this book by Jeffrey Deitch,
Suzanne Geiss, and Julia Gruen. does anyone on here have it?

and if so, what do you think of it?

john gruen's book on keith haring was excellent, and of course you can always check out the haring diaries.

Loved that documentary.
