Description
In 1980, Keith Haring began creating public artworks in the New York City subway. The empty black advertising spaces attracted Haring, who would draw quickly on the blank paper before jumping on the next train. The ‘Subway Drawings’ gained recognition amongst commuters who would often stop and talk to the artist as he worked. Haring saw his guerrilla drawings as a means of communication with the public, with the potential to engage a wide and diverse audience. The drawings were ephemeral, either torn down by admirers or covered up with new ads. To replenish the works Haring would sometimes make up to 40 new drawings a day.\\u0026nbsp;
