New York

Keith Harring by Tseng Kwong Chi

Keith Haring’s Missing Market

Haring, the iconic New York street artist, became a pop culture icon but never developed a market to rival Basquiat, his more collectible contemporary. A sale of his subway drawings, at Sotheby’s, aims to change all that.

A Midseason Art Market Vibe Check

A quick look at the numbers from New York’s midseason contemporary art sales suggests the market is improving slowly but surely. More money was spent in this year’s sales relative to last year, and the indicators were broadly healthy—even if the sales provided little in the way of excitement.

The Donald in the Dock
Sure, Trump’s New York criminal trial has been more riveting and revealing than expected. But outside the Acela corridor, where Trump’s tawdriness was fully priced in a long time ago, the hush-money case feels like very old news—and almost no one is paying attention.
