Critics Review
”…for Doonan, the excitement in retelling Haring’s story lies less in the frisson of his interactions with the artist and more in highlighting the aspects of his practice that were, in hindsight, astonishingly ahead of their time.” -VOGUE”…reading the second book Mr. Doonan recently published, “Keith Haring,” about the prolific late artist, underscores an idea I have long held to be true: Biography is the best self-help… Mr. Doonan is a populist with a love of glamour, and you cna see his deep admiration for Mr. Haring, whose path exemplifies certain ideas Mr. Doonan holds dear.” - The New York Times Book Review“The style writer, Barneys window dresser, and self-described bon vivant brings his unique perspective to Keith Haring’s life and work with this slim but informative tome featuring musings on the influence of Haring’s street art-inspired paintings of the 1980’s.” - ARTNews
