“Keith Haring was intensely aware of being a part of a new generation of Americans: 'I consider myself,' he wrote, 'a perfect product of the space age not only because I was born in the year that the first man was launched into space, but also because I grew up with Walt Disney cartoons.'” Elisabeth Sussman, Exh. Cat., New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Keith Haring, 1997, p. 10
