(*) Keith Haring was born in 1958 in Reading, Pennsylvania, United States.
He grew up in Kutztown and from a young age showed a great interest in art. He studied graphic design at The Ivy School of Professional Art in Pittsburgh, and at the age of 19, already 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 first came to public attention in 1980 when he began drawing cartoon-like images with a marker on the Big Apple's subways and then painted white chalk comic strips on black advertising boards, earning him more than one arrest.
Its clean lines, vivid colours and active figures carried strong messages of life and unity and its displays were filmed by photographer Tseng Kwong Chi.
Also around this time, he organized an exhibition at Club 57, and participated in a show in Times Square, where he drew, for the first time, animals and human faces.
His first solo exhibition was at the 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 time such as Kenny Sharf, 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 Museum of Modern Art in Paris, Minneapolis and Manhattan.
Even during this time, she 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 held an exhibition of his work, and he also took part in the Paris Biennale.
He appeared in November of that year on the MTV channel where he painted in a program hosted by his friend Nick Rhodes, from the group Duran Duran.
In 1986 he painted murals in Amsterdam, Paris, Phoenix and Berlin, he also painted Grace Jones' body for her music video for the song “I'm not Perfect”, and opened a shop to sell his work in SOHO.
By then, his works began to reflect the socio-political issues of the time such as anti-Apartheid, AIDS and drugs.
She also created pop art pieces for brands such as Absolut Vodka, Lucky Strike and Coca Cola, and even designed the cover of the charity album “A Very Special Christmas,” which featured her friend Madonna.
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 inaugurated the Keith Haring Foundation, the aim of which was to fight against social problems related to this disease and to make the artist's work known through exhibitions, publications and the licensing of his work.
In June 1989 he painted his last public work on a wall of the convent of the Church of St. Anthony in Pisa. This work was entitled “Tuttomondo”.
Keith Haring died on February 16, 1990 at the early age of 32, a victim of AIDS.
