(*) 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, openly gay, he moved to New York, where he found inspiration in graffiti art and enrolled in 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 subway cars of the Big Apple, and later painted comic strips with white chalk on black panels intended for advertising, which earned him 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.
Also around this time, he organized an exhibition at Club 57, and took part in a show in Times Square, where he first drew animals and human faces. His first solo exhibition was at Tony Shafrazy Gallery in 1981, the same year he participated in the Documenta 7 exhibition 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 Harin 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 Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris, Minneapolis and Manhattan.
During this period he even designed a pink jacket that Madonna wore to perform her song “Like a Virgin” on the show “Solid Gold.”
In 1985, the Museum of Modern Art in Bordeaux hosted a retrospective of his work, and he also participated in the Paris Biennale.
In November of that year he appeared 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, also painted Grace Jones’ body 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 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 in a select list of artists whose works appeared on the labels of Chateau Mouton Rothschild wines, and that same year he was diagnosed with AIDS, so the following year he opened the Keith Haring Foundation, whose objective was to combat social problems related to this disease and to raise awareness of 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 Church of Saint Anthony in Pisa. This work was titled “Tuttomondo.”
Keith Haring died on February 16, 1990, at the early age of 32, a victim of AIDS.
