The late, great Keith Haring's work is enjoying a welcome reappearance. In celebration of his fiftieth birthday on 4th May, The Keith Haring Foundation, together with Deitch Projects and Goldman Properties, has hired a group of artists to recreate his big and bashy untitled mural, which was once situated near Houston Street and the Bowery in New York. The piece that popped up a lone concrete slab in 1982, went though a few repaints in its time, and today, those involved in its reproduction are going for authenticity. The team creating the piece are working from old photos and fairly ancient paint samples from the site, putting together an almost bone fide Haring.Keith Haring’s Houston Street and Bowery Mural from 05/04/08 - 12/21/08
