Art in Transit: Subway Drawings by Keith Haring is a vibrant collection of Haring’s chalk drawings on unused New York City subway ad panels in the early 1980s. These spontaneous works turned daily commutes into dynamic art experiences, reflecting his mission to make art accessible.
Originally published in 1984 in US, before the Japanese edition, under the title Chikatetsu Āto, it features photographs by Tseng Kwong Chi and an introduction by Henry Geldzahler.
The Japanese edition, 地下鉄アート (Chikatetsu Āto), was released in 1986, offering the same content with Japanese text, further expanding Haring’s reach.
