KEITH HARING Paradise Garage Invitation.
Color screenprint on cloth handkerchief, 2 impressions, 1984. 390x390 mm; 15 1/4x15 1/4 inches (handkerchief). Printed by the artist. Very good impressions with strong colors.
With-- Group of 3 blue paper hand-addressed envelopes, 2 with neon green Three Eyed Smiling Face stickers and one with a silver Radiant Baby sticker.
Each of these handkerchief invitations admitted its holder and a guest to a party at the Paradise Garage, a hub of LGBT nightlife in 1970s and 80s downtown Manhattan. Haring contributed not only the invitations, but also video and other artwork at the party; Larry Levan and Juan Dubose were the disc jockeys.
