In 1979, the Three Mile Island nuclear accident shook America. For Keith Haring, it etched fragility into daily life. It inspired him to paint on metal, a surface he believed could survive catastrophe. Discover how this rare enamel‑on‑metal work, with two figures beneath a radiant cross, transforms nuclear fear into resilience, love, and hope. The work is on offer in the Modern & Contemporary Evening Auction taking place at Sotheby’s Hong Kong on 29 March.
