Keith Haring

Keith Haring (1958–1990) was an American artist of the 1980s. His signature colorful, comic-like works with clear lines, which show influences from the graffiti scene, are among the most popular artistic oeuvres worldwide. From 1978 onwards, Haring lived in New York's East Village and quickly established himself in the local art and club scene. He became acquainted with Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, and Grace Jones, as well as numerous musicians, performance artists, and graffiti artists. On the one hand, he created works in public spaces by painting unused billboards and walls, and on the other hand, he sold his typical pictogram-like images with high recognition value in his “Pop Shop.” These often depict people who seem to be moving or dancing frantically and radiate optimism and joy. When Haring was diagnosed HIV-positive in 1988, his work became darker, and depictions of corpses and skulls reflected his fear of death.   Born in Reading, Pennsylvania, the pop art artist studied at the Ivy School of Professional Art in Pittsburgh from 1976. He attended the School of Visual Arts in New York, but left without graduating. Keith Haring died in 1990 at the age of just 31 as a result of his immune deficiency disease. During his short but extremely productive career, Haring participated in over 100 international group and solo exhibitions. Today, his works can be found in world-renowned museums such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museum Folkwang in Essen, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Sydney.
