Lot Essay

In 1985 Nick Rhodes and Simon LeBon of Duran Duran guest VJ'd a segment on MTV. Nick suggested Kieth Haring paint the set during the show. Keith began with a white set which he then thoroughly covered throughout the hour-long program. The present work served as the backdrop for this historic set.
