#1 Keith Haring Untitled (body painting) (1984)
Copyright: The Estate of Robert Mapplethorpe
Andy Warhol introduced Keith to Grace Jones. He thought that hers was the ultimate body to paint — Grace embodying both primitive and pop, Harings obsessions. Warhol arranged for Robert Mapplethorpe to photograph the finished body painting. At the session, Jones stripped to her underwear, and donned a huge crown and rubber jewelry designed by David Spada. www.haring.com

Aggrieved by my childhood in the ninetees i’ve never shown much understanding for the work of Keith Haring, but i really like this bodypainting project with Grace Jones, which has on the one hand something very typical 80s, but on the other something archaic.
