In 1986 I was travelling Europe with a close friend, which later founded parts of the Ludwig-website. For days we had no food and were tavelling on 1 bycicle, when we arrived at the small town of Strabruckhausen. In the middle of the village was a big ´Strohbrucke´ going on, this means a big feast! We enjoyed the Wurst and Bier a lot as you can imagine. There even was a marry-go-round! Klaus, my friend, almost got sick on the caroussel. Now, looking back, this was a life changing experience and every time I see a caroussel I think about that summer. Those were the best days of my life. That´s why I like to have the Pop-up.

I would be over the Luna if I won this and would probably end up Haring around the house in a fit of excitement!
Seeing his “Altarpiece: The Life of Christ”, the last piece that he made before dying, was a major highlight of my trip to San Francisco. His work resonates with so many people in its simple celebration of life, there is no pretense and arrogance to it, it sees no boundaries. It would be amazing to own something created by him.
why I want it?
Ik buy every year for my son the Keith Haring calender.
I made two big pillows for him (he sleeps with it), copies off drawings from Keith, one of the dog and one of a person. If you don’t believe I will send a picture of it. And I bought him a poster etc…with other words…we are fans…it would be nice to have this with the collection.
We are already waiting by the door for the package…..
Hi you all. Having a nice Sunday morning?

I received a comment form Helen which somehow doesn’t appear in this comment list, but is in competition:
“I would like this item because:
it will sell on ebay and honesty is the best policy”
Cheers,
Bilou
