Keith Haring
New York, USA
Keith Haring (1958-90) was preeminent among the young artists, performers, and musicians whose work responded to the New York street culture of the 1980. He set out to reach the widest possible audience with his early drawings in the subway and quickly gained recognition in the art world. Despite his untimely death at the age of 31, Harings imagery has become a universally recognized visual language of our time.
