Note
Keith Haring: A key figure in New York's East Village scene in the late 1970s and 80s, American artist Keith Haring's work populated not only art galleries, but also the city's subways, streets and sidewalks. An icon of counterculture art with an iconographic artistic vocabulary, Haring drew inspiration from graffiti artists, pop art and the underground culture of the world around him.
Note
SPRZ NY (as Surprise New York) is an ongoing collaboration between Uniqlo and MoMA [The Museum of Modern Art].
