(**) Keith Haring was born in 1958 in Reading, Pennsylvania, United States.
He grew up in Kutztown and from a young age showed a strong interest in art. He studied graphic design at The Ivy School of Professional Art in Pittsburg, and at 19, already openly gay, moved to New York, where he found inspiration in graffiti art and enrolled at the School of Visual Arts, where he was influenced by 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 sketching cartoon-like images with markers on the New York subway, and later painted with white chalk cartoons on black advertising panels, which led to more than one arrest.
His clean lines, vivid colors, and active figures carried strong messages about life and unity, and his exhibitions were filmed by photographer Tseng Kwong Chi.
Around this time, he organized an exhibition at Club 57, and participated in a show in Times Square, where he first drew animals and human faces.
His first solo exhibition was at Tony Shafrazi Gallery in 1981, the same year he participated in Documenta 7 in Kassel, Germany.
In 1982 he befriended emerging artists of the era such as Kenny Scharf, 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 funding 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 even designed a pink jacket worn by Madonna to perform 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 Biennale.
In November of that year he appeared on MTV where he painted on a show hosted by his friend Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran.
In 1986 he painted murals in Amsterdam, Paris, Phoenix, and Berlin, also painted Grace Jones’s body for her music video for 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 issues of the time such as anti-apartheid, AIDS, and drugs.
He also created pop art pieces for brands like Absolut Vodka, Lucky Strike, and Coca-Cola, and even designed the cover of the charitable album “A Very Special Christmas,” on which his friend Madonna was included.
In 1988 he was included on a select list of artists whose works appeared on Chateau Mouton Rothschild wine labels, and that same year he was diagnosed with AIDS, so the following year he founded the Keith Haring Foundation, whose aim was to fight the social problems related to this disease and to promote the artist’s work through exhibitions, publications, and licenses of his work.
In June 1989 he painted his last public work on a wall of the San Antonio Church in Pisa. This work was titled “Tuttomondo.”
Keith Haring passed away on February 16, 1990, at the young age of 32, a victim of AIDS.
