Keith Haring painted the Boys Club Mural (1987) over the course of three days in September 1987 on an expansive blank wall inside the Pitt Street chapter of the Boys Club of New York on Manhattan's Lower East Side. This book documents how New York gallerists Dara Metz & Alberto Magnan rescued the mural from demolition through photographs, with text by Magnan and Metz. It also includes photographs of Haring's process working on the mural and its unveiling in 1987.
