Two of celebrated street artist Keith Haring’s iconic art cars will be rolling into New York City for the first time. Opening on Friday, the exhibition “Keith Haring: In the Street” will display the artist’s 1963 Buick Special and a Land Rover Series III from the 1983 Montreux Jazz Festival, for 10 days only. On view from April 10 to 19 at the CART Department gallery, Free Parking, the exhibit celebrates the new book, “Keith Haring in 3D” from Larry Warsh and Glenn Adamson. The exhibition also marks the first show for Free Parking, a 3,000-square-foot gallery inside a West Village carriage house.
This rare view of Haring’s three-dimensional work will include original works and photographs, accompanied by events and appearances by artists, writers, and others in Haring’s orbit.
On April 11, “Stories from the Street” offers a conversation between choreographer Muna Tseng and culture critic Carlo McCormick about 1980s downtown New York City. A kick-off party for the event, featuring G-Bo The Pro, will begin at 2 p.m.
On April 18, Brad Gooch, author of “Raidant: The Life and Line of Keith Haring,” will be in conversation with Larry Warsh on his new book.
The exhibition also celebrates the upcoming “Keith Haring Exhibition in 3D,” which will open in June at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas.
“Keith Haring: In the Street” will be at Free Parking at 16 Morton Street from April 10-19. Gallery hours are 12-6 p.m.; panels require an RSVP.
To go even deeper, check out a major exhibition of Haring’s work at the Brant Foundation‘s East Village space through May 31. The exhibition, which features pieces that predated the artist’s rise to fame, brings the work back to a neighborhood that inspired Haring’s artistic upbringing.
