club 57 invitational
WANTED
Perhaps the first show Jean-Michel Basquiat would be included in at Club 57 was Keith Haring’s “Club 57 Invitational”.
Besides a Keith Haring drawing requesting submissions, there is very little documentary evidence of this show. A xerox “booklet” incorporating all of the works was supposed to have been produced. However, beyond some extant Xeroxes from various artists, there is no evidence to suggest the booklet was produced.
Details: “Club 57 Invitational” curated by Keith Haring
Venue: Club 57: 57 St. Mark’s Place
Date: May 29, 1980
