These products are a vibrant tribute to the works that Keith Haring, an artist represented in MoMA’s collection, created for the 1987 Luna Luna art park in Hamburg, Germany.
For this unique art park, Haring created a show-stopping carousel featuring seats in bubble-gum pink, lime green, and tangerine orange—three-dimensional versions of the characters from his iconic line drawings.
A prolific artist, Haring also designed a series of large tarps with his signature line-drawing characters for the park, as well as a poster advertising the art park.
One of the key figures in New York's East Village art scene in the 1970s and 1980s, Keith Haring developed a unique and distinctly personal vocabulary of bold, graphic icons—barking dogs, flying saucers, winged figures, and a crawling “radiant baby”—which he combined with abstract marks and patterns in densely packed compositions. An artist in the Museum’s collection, Haring’s work has been included in a number of MoMA exhibitions, starting in 1981 in MoMA PS1’s New York/New Wave exhibition and more recently in Century of the Child: Growing by Design, 1900–2000 in 2012.
