“LA II [LA Rock] was hanging around in the studio, and I had one of those metal shelves that was waiting to be painted on. I decided that he could draw his tags on top of the painting with marker. I then went into the negative spaces in and around and between his signatures with squiggly lines. I added these gestural, nonspecific, calligraphic little marks.” (K. HARING,quoted in Jeffrey Deitch (ed.), Keith Haring, New York, 2008.)
