But when tasked with creating an exhibition for Amsterdam\u2019s Stedelijk Museum, Haring refused to remount old works, or even to lean on the celebrated visual motifs\u2014the barking dogs, the glowing babies\u2014with which his name had become synonymous. The New York artist wanted to create something completely new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the results was\u00a0<em>Amsterdam Notes<\/em>, a 125-foot black ink drawing that stands as one of the largest pieces Haring made for a museum. Nearly three decades on, Stedelijk is restaging the giant paperwork in its IMC Gallery, its so-called hall of honor, alongside two other works from the museum\u2019s collection from May 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor art lovers,\u00a0<em>Amsterdam Notes<\/em>\u00a0is a contemporary Bayeux tapestry, and a holy grail for Haring fans. Since works on paper are fragile, they cannot be exhibited for long,\u201d the museum\u2019s director Rein Wolfs said. \u201cMoments such as this are unique, and happen rarely. But, this summer, the door to the Stedelijk\u2019s treasury is ajar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[ <a href=\"https:\/\/news.artnet.com\/art-world\/keith-haring-stedelijk-museum-amsterdam-notes-2293387\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click to continue reading at artnet<\/a> ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from artnet See the Rare Keith Haring Drawing\u2014Measuring a Massive 125 Feet\u2014That Is Going on View in Amsterdam for the First Time in 30 Years Stedelijk Museum&#8217;s director calls it a &#8216;contemporary Bayeux tapestry.&#8217; by Richard Whiddington Keith Haring drawing Amsterdam Notes in the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, 1986.
