Madonna News

Madonna, still widely regarded as the Queen of Pop, has been a mainstay on the Billboard charts for decades, consistently delivering hit after hit. Sadly though, in recent years, many of her promotional singles have failed to make a commercial impact.

In organizing the show, Loyer came to appreciate that Haring worked with the “confident line” as his primary medium. “If you look closely, you can see it change over time, from the earliest spray-painted works to intricate compositions filling massive unstretched tarpaulins,” she said. Though “Art Is for Everybody” offers universal delights, like a crown Haring helped create for Grace Jones and the pink leather suit Madonna wore to his 1984 birthday party, the show chiefly demonstrates Haring’s ability to blend criticism with optimism through many resounding lines.
