United States, 1958 to 1990

In short

Keith Allen Haring (May 4, 1958, February 16, 1990) was an American artist and activist. His bold, graphic imagery has "become a widely recognized visual language". Emerging from New York City's downtown art and graffiti scenes in the early 1980s, he transformed subway chalk drawings into an internationally celebrated career that bridged street art and Pop art.
