Rain Dance. 1985.
Curated and organized by Keith Haring， Rain Dance was a benefit for UNICEF’s African Emergency Relief Fund: Pop Art’s contribution to pop music’s Live Aid that same year. This poster―now considered to be an iconic piece of the Pop era―stemmed out of Warhol’s system of collaborating upon the same canvas with a variety of his protges. Here， he joins forces with Lichtenstein， Haring， Basquiat， and Yoko Ono to create a unified， exciting composition. "This poster reflects the crme de la crme of New Yorks artistic and social circles in 1985. Water， so essential to combat drought and famine prevailing in Ethiopia， was the posters principal message and its theme， rain， is treated from different perspectives by each of the artists: graphic (Lichtensteins oblique lines)， practical (Warhols umbrellas)， ethnographic (the rain dance by Haring)， political (Basquiat， combining the homophones rain and reign)， and geographic (Ono， whose footsteps illustrate Africans long walks to reach rare water sources)" (Warhol Posters， p. 116).
