in 1984, andy warhol introduced keith haring to grace jones. haring was immediately captivated by grace's body believing it was the ultimate canvas for him to express both primitive and pop, his two obsessions. once grace agreed, warhol worked his magic and arranged for robert mapplethorpe to shoot the final product. grace's poses, mapplethorpe's composition & haring's painting fluorish into a vibrant piece that exudes movement and dancing. grace appears fully nude save for the crown and rubber glow-in-the dark jewelery by david spada.
