One of the most emblematic posters for American art in the 80s. The meeting of five New York figures, a dream-team: Warhol, Basquiat, Haring, Ono & Lichtenstein. Poster designed for the Rain Dance event organized by Keith Haring to raise funds for Africa via UNICEF. The artists created a unified, exciting composition.
This poster reflects the creme de la creme of New York’s artistic and social circles in 1985. Water, so essential to combat drought and famine prevailing in Ethiopia, was the poster’s principal message and its theme, rain, is treated from different perspectives by each of the artists: graphic (Lichtenstein’s oblique lines), practical (Warhol’s umbrellas), ethnographic (the rain dance by Haring), political (Basquiat, combining the homophones rain and reign), and geographic (Ono, whose footsteps illustrate Africans’ long walks to reach rare water sources)
