WEST PALM BEACH, FLA.- Think back to the mid-'80s: you or somebody you know probably had a shirt from the Pop Shop emblazoned with Keith Haring's "radiant baby" across the chest. Haring's instantly recognizable symbols made him an icon of art and social awareness. He was on everything from the subways of New York City to the Berlin Wall and featured in galleries around the world. Keith Haring's 1983 painting will be up for auction on Saturday, May 2nd at Palm Beach Modern Auctions in West Palm Beach, FL as lot 176.  [More]
