Keith Haring at Gladstone Gallery in New York. Now showing through July 1, 2011
Keith Haring was born on May 4, 1958. The late artist’s 53rd birthday was celebrated in New York with the opening night gala reception of a Keith Haring exhibit which features 133 previously unseen works on paper at the Gladstone Gallery (located at 515 West 21st Street in NYC). The works are taken from a series called “Manhattan Penis Drawings for Ken Hicks” (1978). Also featured are three large scale works created in 1984 and 1984.

Keith’s birthday was celebrated with a lot of love and emotion in the gallery. I overheard many conversations of people sharing their personal experiences with Keith Haring. Spotted in the crowd (and you can see pictures after the jump) were artist Scooter LaForge, rock and roll goddess Debbie Harry as well as Keith Haring’s parents, Joan and Allen Haring.

Fashion mavens, art collectors and people who live on the cutting edge, here’s some some very exciting news! Artist Scooter LaForge has created an extremely limited edition series of one of a kind silk-screened clothing for Nasty Pig. WasteLine consists of 12 signed art pieces. This about to be sold out series consists of one of a kind hand screened and dyed shredded tees, underwear and socks, all contained within a lunchbox. The name of the project aims at the idea of waste, the vanity of the waist line, and the juxtaposition of the child and adult mentalities. The artists wanted to toy with the power of holding onto being childlike and playful, yet also represent the negative consequences associated with never growing up. Perfectly suit, a role model for the collective was Baby Finster from the classic Bugs Bunny cartoons. Scooter describes his designs for the collaboration one-of-a-kind pieces of art . He continues, “They are all hand painted and silk screened. The will become instant cult collectibles. They are beautiful, rebellious, and punk rock all at the same time.”
I attended the opening night reception for WasteLine at Nasty Pig and I spotted photographers Krys Fox, Rob Ordonez, artist Inbred Hybrid Collective as well as Plastic Robot in the crowd. Scooter LaForge was also on hand and he agreed to pose for the hottest photo ever for me. Thanks Scooter!

I’ve been a big fan of artist Scooter LaForge’s work for a long time. His paintings and limited edition T-shirts are so cool. You can see a very nice array of his work on his official website (link is above). Additionally, you can catch some of his designs in the flesh at the T Minus 20 exhibit at the Christopher Henry Gallery (which runs through August 1, 2010). You can purchase some of Scooter’s awesome shirts at the online Ignite Store as well. Through the magic of the internet, I was able to reach out to him personally and gush about his wonderful work. I kept all my feelings about what a hottie he is to myself. Did I just say that out loud? Oops! As it seems we have been running in similar social circles, I was trying to coordinate a coincidental random encounter. As luck would have it, planning something was not necessary as we ran into each other at a screening of the new and great documentary on Jean-Michel Basquiat, The Radiant Child. We chatted for just a few moments, and as I expected, Scooter was super cool. Due to the timing of the movie, (he was walking in, I was walking out), we didn’t get to talk for very long, but I am sure this is the first of many more encounters to come. Thanks again Scooter for being so cool and I hope to see you again!
