Imagine a typical day in our lives, where our relationship with technology is a constant rollercoaster ride. Onemoment, we’re frustrated and burdened, convinced we can’t bear it any longer. But within moments, we realize its necessary presence and how interconnected it has become with our existence.
Back in 1989, pop artist Keith Haring saw this relationship better than most. A complete set of limited-edition Pop Shop III Haring produced in 1989 reflects that understanding. The set recently sold for S125, 000 at Heritage Auctions (拍卖). The four images tell a story of people struggling with technology. In one image, a giant pair of scissors cuts the wire to a computer. In another, a person gets pulled into the machine trying to fix it. Yet another shows a person crazily trying to help.
It’s not surprising that Haring would predict our challenging relationship with the digital rev
olution. His art, with its seemingly simple style and its deeper themes of love, death, war, and social harmony, is desired by collectors.
The most paid for a Haring painting is $6.5 million for the piece Untitled (1982) in 2017.
Born in Reading, Pennsylvania, Haring was best known for striking graffiti-inspired drawings that took him from New York City’s streets, subways and clubs to museums and public spaces around the world. Haring created a unique drawing style based on the importance of the line. He filled his works with recognizable images like dancing figures, “radiant babies,” barking dogs, and flying objects, and integrated it with uncommon energy and optimism. Much like his teacher Andy Warhol, the focus of Haring’s career was to make art accessible to the public.
Haring died in 1990 at the age of 31, but his work — and our struggle with technology — lives on.
