BENTONVILLE, ARK.- From June 6, 2026, to January 25, 2027, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art presents Keith Haring in 3D, the first exhibition to highlight the iconic artist’s work in three dimensions. Opening alongside the museum’s long-awaited expansion and new temporary exhibition gallery on June 6, the exhibition features a wide range of Haring’s works, inviting visitors to move through and around his art like never before.

Though Keith Haring is typically thought of as primarily a painter, Keith Haring in 3D focuses on a lesser-known yet highly compelling aspect of his practice as a sculptor. This exhibition marks the first time Haring’s three-dimensional work has been explored at this scale, offering new insight into an important yet underexamined aspect of his career. Keith Haring in 3D will showcase Haring’s sculptures, totems and masks, skateboards, clothing, boomboxes, paintings, drawings, and even a 1963 Buick Special, highlighting the breadth of his artistic experimentation.

“One of the goals of this exhibition is to reposition Keith Haring within the creative networks that shaped his practice, especially the downtown New York scene of the late 1970’s and early 1980’s,” said Victor Gomez, assistant curator of contemporary art. “I think people are most familiar with Haring’s two-dimensional work, including paintings, prints, and commercial collaborations. Rather than focusing solely on his iconic imagery, this exhibition highlights the collaborative spirit that defined Keith Haring’s career—from his early subway drawings to his creative exchanges with artists like LA2 and Kenny Scharf.”

Visitors will experience how Haring translated his signature graphic style into physical space and form, from early painted objects and collaborations to immersive environments and large-scale sculptural works. Throughout his career, Haring worked across a wide range of mediums and collaborated with influential figures such as Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat, as well as performers like Grace Jones and Bill T. Jones.

“Haring’s creativity was never confined to a single medium, or to the picture plane. His three-dimensional work shows the full scope of his curiosity and boldness, and the sheer energy that he brought to the world,” said Glenn Adamson, independent curator. “The exhibition offers an entirely new perspective on this hugely influential artist.”

Keith Haring in 3D will be accompanied by a major book published by Phaidon/Monacelli, edited by Larry Warsh and Glenn Adamson.

A lineup of public programs will accompany the exhibition’s opening weekend, along with the unveiling of Crystal Bridges’ 114,000-square-foot expansion. Opening celebrations will include gallery talks, guided tours, live music, wellness activities, and Keith Haring-themed artmaking.

Tickets to Keith Haring in 3D are $15, free for Crystal Bridges members, SNAP participants, veterans, and adults and youth 18 and under. For more information on Keith Haring in 3D and related programming, please visit the exhibition webpage.
