A few months ago I did a little blurb about Keith Haring.
Well some genius with since gumption and a knack for great art made a documentary about him.
Her name,Claudia Clausen. To honor the fiftieth anniversary of Haring's death she
made [The Universe of Keith Haring] in 2008. The film is a celebration of Haring's
artwork and his amazing life. It was in the theaters and I'm superiorly pissed that
I had no idea because I definitely would've made an event of it.
Well that doesn't matter because it is being released on DVD!
F'YES.
