Article Review


Collectors of Keith Haring Works File Lawsuit
Artist: Keith Haring

"Untitled" taken by Richard Perry/The New York Times

     The website itself is not the easiest thing to figure out. It is very busy and hard to navigate, if the blog were cleaner it would be more enjoyable to look at. It took me quite a few minutes to find the articles and figure out where everything was. I also think the article would be more interesting if it had more pictures. I opened this article because of the word "lawsuit" in the title, I have always been interested in the judicial system. The article is very interesting to read, because it exposes some of the underlying problems in the art world. People have been selling and show what they said was authentic pieces of art, but ended up being fake. The artist died at the age of 31 in 1990 and is not alive to defend himself, his name as an artist, and his art work. I am glad that there is a lawsuit taking place so that the innocent can get justice after being wronged.
