I've liked his art for a long time but I only just found out about the connection to Michael Stewart and the whole sequence of events involving Keith Haring etc. I guess what I'm saying is, when I learned about that history, I realized that I should have ALREADY known it given his stature; which means, you're right — there's just not enough institutional attention. Anyway thanks for this — fascinating.
