(*) Ο Keith Haring γεννήθηκε το 1958 στο Reading, Pennsylvania, Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες. grew up in Kutztown and from a young age showed a strong interest in art. Studied graphic design at The Ivy School of Professional Art, in Pittsburg, and at 19, openly gay, moved to New York where he found inspiration in graffiti art and enrolled at the School of Visual Arts where he received influence from Keith Sonnler and Joseph Kossuth, who encouraged him to train as a conceptual artist after experimenting with form and color.
Haring drew public attention in 1980 when he began drawing cartoon-like images with markers in the city’s subway cars, and later painted with white chalks on black panels intended for advertising, which earned him more than one arrest.
His clean lines, vibrant colors and active figures carried strong messages of life and unity and his exhibitions were filmed by photographer Tseng Kwong Chi.
Also around this time, he organized an exhibition at Club 57, and participated in a show at Times Square, where he drew animals and human faces for the first time.
His first solo exhibition was at Tony Shafrazy Gallery in 1981, the same year he took part in the Documenta 7 exhibition in Kassel, Germany.
In 1982 he befriended emerging artists of the era such as Kenny Sharf, Madonna and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and even met the famous Andy Warhol.
In 1984 Haring went to Australia and painted several murals in Melbourne and Sydney, and even received money for his work from the National Gallery of Victoria and the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art.
He also visited and painted in Rio de Janeiro, the Paris Modern Art Museum, Minneapolis and Manhattan.
During this period he designed a pink jacket that Madonna wore to interpret her song “Like a Virgin” on the program “Solid Gold”.
In 1985, the Museum of Modern Art in Bordeaux held an exhibition of his work, and he also took part in the Paris Biennial.
He appeared in November of that year on MTV where he painted on a program hosted by his friend Nick Rhodes, of the group Duran Duran.
In 1986 he painted murals in Amsterdam, Paris, Phoenix and Berlin, he also painted the body of Grace Jones for her music video of the song “I´m not Perfect”, and opened a shop to sell his works in SOHO.
By then, his works began to reflect the socio-political problems of the time such as anti-Apartheid, AIDS and drugs.
He also created pop art pieces for brands such as Absolut Vodka, Lucky Strike and Coca Cola, and even designed the cover of the benevolent album “A Very Special Christmas”, on which his friend Madonna was included.
In 1988 he was included in a select list of artists whose works appeared on Chateau Mouton Rothschild wine labels, and that same year he was diagnosed with AIDS, which led the next year to establish the Keith Haring Foundation whose aim was to combat social problems related to this disease and to make the artist’s work known through exhibitions, publications and licenses of his work.
In June 1989 he painted his last public work on a wall of the Convent of the Church of San Antonio in Pisa. This work was titled “Tuttomondo”.
Keith Haring died on February 16, 1990 at the early age of 32 from AIDS.
