Like other graffiti artists in the 1980s, Haring found an empty canvas in the advertising panels scattered throughout New York City's subway system, where he communicated his socially conscious, often humorous messages on platforms and train cars. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOver a five-year period, in an epic conquest of civic space, Haring produced a massive body of subway artwork that remains daunting in its scale and its impact on the public consciousness. Dedicated to the individuals who might encounter them and to the moments of their creation, Haring's drawings now exist solely in the form of documentary photographs and legend. Because they were not meant to be permanent--only briefly inhabiting blacked-out advertising boards before being covered up by ads or torn down by authorities or admirers--what little remains of this project is uniquely fugitive. \u003ci\u003eKeith Haring: 31 Subway Drawings\u003c\/i\u003e reproduces archival materials relating to this magnificent project alongside essays by leading Haring experts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for No More Rulers\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJeffrey Deitch\u003c\/b\u003e has been involved with modern and contemporary art for nearly fifty years as an artist, writer, curator, dealer, and advisor.
