Keith Haring

Keith Haring was an American pop artist whose bold, graphic style rose from the New York City subway art movement of the 1980s. Known for his energetic lines and iconic figures—including the Radiant Baby and dancing silhouettes—he transformed street art into a universal visual language. A passionate social activist, Haring used his work to address issues such as AIDS awareness, anti-apartheid, and LGBTQ+ rights, creating murals and public artworks that continue to inspire worldwide. His accessible approach to art expanded further with the opening of the Pop Shop and the establishment of the Keith Haring Foundation.

The artist lived and worked in New York, USA.
