"l see Keith Haring as the twenty-first-century archetypal artist. What I mean by that is that the twenty-first century is going to be global - it's going to break down all the national and geographic borders. And it's going to be timeless, in the sense of the enormous spectrum of information that the world will be sharing, it's going to be sending out signals that will be recognized by anyone on the planet earth right now, and also for those who think back to the beginning of cave art when young Paleoliths were putting art on walls... Keith may be controversial, but nobody really dislikes him. He may be shocking, subversive, offensive, but they all love him. They all know he's the kid on the block who's painting the walls." Timothy Leary.
