1992 Keith Haring “Falsettos”

This 1992 “Falsettos” t-shirt, featuring Keith Haring’s iconic “Radiant Baby” heart design, represents the powerful intersection of art, Broadway, and AIDS activism in the early 90s. Falsettos is a groundbreaking musical that originally premiered on Broadway in 1992, exploring themes of family, love, and life in the midst of the AIDS epidemic. Keith Haring, a celebrated artist whose work often addressed social and political issues including AIDS awareness, died in 1990, making this shirt a posthumous collaboration that underscores the continued impact of his art on the fight against HIV/AIDS. The “Life, Love, Sex” text on the back of the shirt, along with phrases like “It starts in bed, a million stories, where would we be without it?”, further emphasizes the musical’s themes and its connection to the realities of the time, making this t-shirt a significant piece of cultural history.
