Description
In 1983, Haggerty Museum of Art founding Director Dr. Curtis L. Carter invited New York City-based artist Keith Haring to create a mural on the fence enclosing the new museum’s construction site. Haring spent three days on the Marquette University campus—located in downtown Milwaukee—working in collaboration with Marquette students, staff, and faculty to create the twenty-four section work of art that is now a beloved part of the Haggerty Museum of Art’s collection. The graphic on these t-shirts is appropriated from a drawing made of ink on foamcore that Haring drew during his Milwaukee stay and then gifted it to the Museum. You can view the original work online.
