Keith Haring (1958-90) was one of the most renowned of the young artists, filmmakers, performers and musicians whose work responded to urban street culture in the 1980s. Inspired by the graffiti artists whose marks covered the city’s subway cars, Haring burst on the scene with his white chalk drawings on the black paper once used to cover vacant advertising panels in the subway stations. As early as 1980, Haring began exhibiting in galleries and museum around the world, and participated in public projects, including literacy campaigns and anti-AIDS initiatives. Artwork provided by the Keith Haring Foundation.
