Selected Works
As one of the leading American artists of the twentieth century, Keith Haring forged a unique visual language of bold, energetic lines articulating simplified forms.
Born in 1958 in Reading, Pennsylvania, he showed a fascination with drawing from childhood, shaped in his early years by the work of cartoonists and animators, before discovering the more transformative currents of American Abstract Expressionism and Pop art, movements that would lay the foundation for everything he and his generation would go on to achieve.
Throughout his career, Haring remained resolute in his commitment to making art accessible to as wide an audience as possible, turning away from the gallery-artist model towards more universal, everyday platforms. He was greatly inspired by Andy Warhol's Pop fusion of art and life, and he and Jean-Michel Basquiat became figureheads of an urban art movement that continues to exert a dominant force on the contemporary art market today. Warhol became an important mentor to both Haring and Basquiat in the early 1980s, and the relationship deepened through collaborative projects with influential cultural figures including Grace Jones, Jenny Holzer, and William Burroughs.
