Culture Connection: “Radiant: The Life and Line of Keith Haring” with Biographer Brad Gooch

Join us for this conversation with biographer Brad Gooch and author Priscilla Gilman in honor of LGBTQ+ Pride Month! Keith Haring was one of the most emblematic artists of the 1980s, a figure described by his contemporaries as “a prophet in his life, his person, and his work.” Haring broke down barriers between high art and popular culture, creating work that was accessible for all and using it as a means to provoke and inspire radical social change. Brad Gooch, who was granted access to Haring’s extensive archive, has written a biography that will become the authoritative work on the artist. Based on interviews with those who knew him best, Gooch’s book captures the magic of Keith Haring, a visionary icon whose tragically short life has a unique aura of mystery and power.
