Märklin readies Keith Haring model train set
Model train firm Märklin is collaborating with the artist Keith Haring on a limited-edition train set.
The launch forms part of Märklin’s Message Wagon range – a collection of artist collaborations that aim to ‘carry their messages and attitudes from the past into the present.’
The collection has thus far included a collaboration with Jean-Michel Basquiat, and an earlier partnership with Haring.
This set features Keith Haring artwork on one side of the carriage, and his quote “There are no limits to what a person can do” on the other.
