Keith Haring is a regular subject for these blogs i write and a good reason is the small collection of books and other items i bought recently. In all there are 25 different titles added to my inventory. Among these my personal favorit ” Nina’s book of Little Things!”.

A highly personal title he made in 1988 for the birthday of Nina, his friends daughter.

A “thank you” present for staying at the Clement family home. A gift that will delight generations to come and which is now available at www.ftn-books.com

Schermafbeelding 2021-05-28 om 14.01.05

This is still possibel, since 2 year after his death the Groninger Museum used one of Keith Haring Subway drawings as the leading image for all the publications that were published around the theme of Subway graffiti art.  An exhibition which was held at the Groninger Museumin 1992.

Swip Stolk interpreted in his own special way this drawing and transformed into a spectacular exhibition poster. A few years earlier Stolk took an interest in graffiti art and integrated this art form into a poster devoted to the collection of the Groninger Museum. Both poster are now available at www.ftn-books.com

This will be the first of a series blogs devoted to the poster art for the Groninger Museum by Swip Stolk

1986….Keith Haring had his retropective at the Stedelijk Museum and made the VELUM for the entrance at that time. Since, there has been a friendship between Wim Beeren and Keith Haring. The 1990 Bulletin published by the STEDELIJK MUSEUM, had a small contribution on the memorial held at the MAZZO discotheque in Amsterdam. With the article a note written by Keith Haring addressed to Wim (beeren) was published for the first time. Here is the letter.
