Houston Street and Bowery
The Keith Haring Foundation, Goldman Properties and Deitch Projects announce the recreation of Keith Haring’s celebrated Houston Street and Bowery mural. The mural became an instant downtown landmark after Keith painted it in the summer of 1982. The mural was up for only a few months in the summer of 1982 before it was painted out but its image remains imprinted in the memory of many people who were part of the downtown artist community in the early 1980s.
The mural is being repainted by Gotham Scenic using the extensive photographic documentation of the original work. The work will be unveiled on May 4, 2008 the day that would have been Keith Haring’s 50th Birthday.

ARTmostfierce thinks ...very touching about the birthday and recognition aspect but...see below!
The Mural titled Crack is Whack over 135 th Street in (Harlem)Upper Manhattan was just recently restored without any fanfare. No gallery or organization was ever involved.This once again proves that most NY institutions, organizations and the art establishments ignores anything happening above 96st. including out current Mayor. Can we say Congestion Pricing above 96st?
Hell, No!
