By the time of his death from AIDS at the age of 31, Keith Haring (1958-1990) was already a wildly successful and popular artist. Haring's original and instantly recognizable style, full of thick black lines, bold colors, and graffiti-inspired cartoon-like figures, won him the appreciation of both the art world and the general public; his work appeared simultaneously on T-shirts, gallery walls, and public murals. In 1986, Haring founded Pop Shop, a boutique in New York's SoHo selling Haring-designed memorabilia, to benefit charities and help bring his work closer to the public and especially street kids, with whom he never lost contact.

Keith Haring,

This review is from: Keith Haring, 1958-1990: Life for Art (Taschen Basic Art) (Paperback)
I witnessed Haring's work when they first appeared in the subway stations I took every day to school. Nobody knew who did them, but everybody commented on them. He didn't reveal who he was for a long time as the drawings would mysteriously change. It was mindblowing as his themes evolved. I did not see this evolution in this book. It just concentrated on the themes that became famous. I guess they could only showcase his commercial stuff, since his subway art was ephemeral.
