Keith Haring Subway Drawings at Moco Museum London
Private Collection on Loan
March-June, 2026
At Trimper Gallery, we are incredibly excited and proud that works from our private collection are being exhibited at Moco Museum London as part of Voice of the Streets: Keith Haring’s Subway Drawings. It’s an honor to see these pieces shared with an international audience in such a dynamic and immersive setting.
The exhibition highlights Keith Haring’s early subway drawings from 1980–1985, which he famously created on unused advertising panels throughout New York City. As noted in the article, Haring described the subway as a “laboratory” where he could experiment freely and reach a broad audience. His works were intentionally temporary—drawn quickly in chalk and often erased—yet they carried powerful meaning and immediacy.
Featuring around 30 works, the exhibition recreates the atmosphere of a 1980s NYC subway, allowing visitors to experience the environment where these drawings first appeared. Using simple, recognizable imagery, Haring aimed to communicate with everyone, reinforcing his belief that “art is for everybody.” This exhibition not only captures the spontaneity and energy of his practice but also highlights the lasting cultural impact of his work.”
