ANGEL ORTIZ / LA II / LA2

Keith Haring was influenced heavily by LA2's graffiti, and many of LA2's works are mistaken for Keith Haring's. Within the past two years, a collaboration Haring / LA2 of an Egyptian mummy sculpture traded at auction for $80,000.

LA2 was discovered by Keith Haring in the early 1980s and became his close friend and collaborator. They traveled the world together, painting murals and sculptures.

LA2 and Keith Haring recently had an exhibition at Jeffrey Deitch in New York City, which is now traveling internationally.
