Jane Pauley, a respected broadcast journalist and host of ‘CBS News Sunday Morning,’ has had a remarkable career spanning over five decades. She has received multiple Emmys, the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism, Edward R. Murrow Award, and the Gracie Allen Award from the Foundation of American Women in Radio & Television. Pauley is also a member of the Broadcast and Cable Hall of Fame. In 2024, she was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

Interlocking silhouettes and bold lines define Keith Haring’s iconic style. Haring once stated, “It was made for lots of people. You don’t have to know anything about art to appreciate it.” Austen Bailly, a curator at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, described Haring’s work as graphic, fun, direct, and appealing. She noted that while many recognize Haring’s work through T-shirts, posters, or watches, they might not fully grasp the depth of his artistic practice and vision.

The Crystal Bridges Museum presents ‘Keith Haring in 3D,’ an exhibition celebrating Haring’s art, which has adorned many parts of New York City. Featured in the exhibition are several objects, including a suit worn by Madonna. Three untitled works by Haring, a 1963 Buick Special with enamel, acrylic paint on a papier-mâché elephant, and acrylic paint on a television, are part of the display. These works come from the collections of Larry Warsh and the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh.

Haring often brought his art to underground spaces, like subway walls, transforming everyday scenes. In a 1982 interview with CBS News’ Charles Osgood, Haring expressed that there was no discrepancy between his gallery work and his street art. He invested the same care in both, emphasizing the importance of art being part of people’s lives.

Olivia Walton, chair of the Crystal Bridges Museum, highlighted Haring’s vision of art being accessible beyond traditional settings. His pieces touched various spaces, such as subways and playgrounds. Despite addressing serious themes like the AIDS crisis during the flourishing art scene in 1980s New York, Haring’s work maintained an element of joy.

Haring died at 31 due to AIDS-related complications, leaving a vibrant legacy. Austen Bailly hopes visitors find joy, color, fun, and solemnity in his legacy.

The ‘Keith Haring in 3D’ exhibition runs at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art until January 25, 2027.
