[1] The mural covers the exterior of a preserved stairwell from the now demolished building of the Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital in Paris, France.
William Shank, former chief conservator of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, described the mural:His freehand design depicts a large pregnant woman, his signature crawling ‘radiant babies,’ and a handful of bouncing figures of adults interacting with children.
All of the figures were applied in thick black lines, at close-range and without preliminary sketches, over free-form shapes of bright yellows, greens, blues and reds.
[8][5] Gallerist Jérôme de Noirmont led restoration efforts in collaboration with the Keith Haring Foundation.
