Photo: The Keith Haring Mural Recreation
An unnamed Keith Haring mural that enjoyed a brief life on the Lower East Side in the 1980s has returned in all of its DayGlo glory. The mural was recreated by using photographs of the original mural that Haring, a New York artist, painted, then shortly thereafter painted over. Haring died of AIDS at the age of 31 in 1990 and the new mural is in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Haring’s birth. The mural is located on a large piece of concrete at the corner of Bowery and Houston (map). You won’t miss it… it’s bright!
