One of only 31 remaining murals globally by the late, legendary Keith Haring, Melbourne’s iconic mural turns 30 this week.
‘Keith Haring’s visit to Australia, from 18 February to 8 March 1984, is still regarded with surprise. That an international art superstar should make it to our shores during his meteoric rise to fame — let alone undertake a series of public works here — is amazing’, said Juliana Engberg, director of the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA).
