Where could you go to see an in-depth museum exhibition focusing on an iconic 1980s New York City visual artist — and, more specifically, focusing on some lesser-known aspects of that artist’s work? If your answer was “the World Chess Hall of Fame in St. Louis,” congratulations; you are indeed correct. The museum is currently hosting Keith Haring: Radiant Genius, and its comprehensive approach to Haring’s life and work offers one of the fullest takes on his art to date.
At the time of Haring’s 1990 death, the New York Times offered a concise overview of his most famous works. “Among his best-known images were the ‘Radiant Child,’ a crawling infant surrounded by rays of light, and the ‘Barking Dog,’ an alligatorlike creature that looked as if it had emerged from an Aztec hieroglyphic,” wrote Andrew L. Yarrow.
