June 21, 2019 Darren Pih: The Art Of Keith Haring
Keith Haring is widely considered one of the most influential artists of the 20th century and the exhibition at Tate Liverpool is the first major UK retrospective of his work. Heavily inspired by graffiti, pop art and underground club culture, Haring collaborated with like minded souls throughout his life, including Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
He also designed record covers for RUN DMC and David Bowie, directed a music video for Grace Jones and developed a fashion line with Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood.

A key part of the punk movement, Jordan became iconic initially whilst working at McLaren and Westwood’s Sex shop on the King’s Road and was part of the original Pistols entourage and appeared on stage with them regularly. Her defiant look was the embodiment of punk that the Sex shop emulated.
She went on to manage and perform with Adam And The Ants in 77/78 and perform the role of Britannia in Derek Jarman’s Jubilee, hanging out with Bowie and Warhol along the way.
She has been a veterinary nurse for 26 years after overcoming intense personal struggles in the early Eighties.
Jordan explores her incredible life in her recently published her autobiography ‘Defying Gravity’ which sold out as soon as it hit the shelves and had an immediate reprint.
