Closely based on Haring’s own concept for the monograph he wanted to publish before his untimely death, this volume represents more than a decade of research and contains a wealth of unpublished photographic and written material including drawings, studio photographs, and journal entries. From chalk drawings deep in the New York City subways to murals in Pisa and Berlin; collaborations with William Burroughs and the famous body painting of Grace Jones, this book follows the incredible trajectory of Keith Haring’s artistic career: how a young man from a small town in rural Pennsylvania came to revolutionize the art world—and the course of art history—within little more than a decade. An incredibly prolific artist, Keith Haring created countless bold, provocative, endearing, and unforgettable images that continue to inspire artists—and delight children—worldwide. Tracing the arc from his early subway "tags" to his poignant work on social issues as diverse as AIDS, illiteracy and apartheid, this visually stunning book is the definitive work on Keith Haring.

A Wonderful Tribute,
By
This review is from: Keith Haring (Hardcover)
This large, oversized book is a wonderful tribute to Keith Haring and his artwork. Haring was a ground breaking artist who combined graffiti and street art with pop art. He also combined art in commerce in a way that had never been done with the Pop Shop, a retail store that sold merchandise featuring his artwork (think Murakami) on everything from clothing to kids toys. Must-have for Haring fans.
