Keith Haring Rocking "Horse" Is For The Pop Art Freak In All Of Us

Chris Ford — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 17:54:00 GMT

Are the late 80s in again? For me Keith Haring's iconic art screams the late 80s, but if it's in again, then you should check this one out. Someone has gone and made a rocking horse out of Keith Haring's drawing "The Radiant Baby."

The Keith Haring White Rocker by Vilac is 26.3" wide by 17" high and is for ages two and up. I'm not sure exactly who this would be perfect for - maybe for someone who has done up a nursery with a Haring motif, or maybe for the kid who's parents are pop art freaks. It's a little pricey for a rocker, but not totally unreasonable for something so unique.
