Graffiti on the Concourse: Keith Haring’s 1984 Walker Mural

The year was 1984, the site was the Walker concourse, the hall between the museum and the Guthrie Theater, and the artist—then the toast of New York’s graffiti and gallery scene—was Keith Haring.

Keith Haring at the Walker Art Center

In a single day—March 15, 1984—Keith Haring painted a giant mural as part of his artist residency at Minneapolis' Walker Art Center. Now existing only through photographic and video documentation, the orange and green wall piece was created to commemorate the completion of the Walker's then-new underground education center, and remained on view through December 1985.
