(*) Keith Haring was born in 1958 in Reading, Pennsylvania, United States. He grew up in Kutztown and from a young age showed a strong interest in art. He studied graphic design at The Ivy School of Professional Art in Pittsburg, and at 19, openly declaring himself 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 drew public attention in 1980 when he began doodling cartoon-like images with marker in New York City subways, and later drew comic strips with white chalk on black advertising panels, which led to more than one arrest. His clean lines, vibrant colors, and active figures carried strong messages about life and unity, and his exhibitions 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 animals and human faces for the first time. His first solo exhibition was at Tony Shafrazi 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 era such as Kenny Scharf, Madonna, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and even met the famous Andy Warhol. In 1984 Haring 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 Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris, Minneapolis, and Manhattan. During this period he even designed a pink jacket that Madonna wore to interpret 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 participated in the Paris Biennale. He appeared in November of that year on MTV, painting in a program hosted by his friend Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran. In 1986 he painted murals in Amsterdam, Paris, Phoenix, and Berlin, 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 reflecting the socio-political issues of the time such as anti-Apartheid, AIDS, and drugs. He also created pop-art pieces for brands like Absolut Vodka, Lucky Strike, and Coca-Cola, and even designed the cover of the charitable album “A Very Special Christmas,” on which his friend Madonna was featured. In 1988 he was included in a select list of artists whose works appeared on Château Mouton Rothschild wine labels, and that same year he was diagnosed with AIDS, which led to the opening of the Keith Haring Foundation the following year, aimed at fighting the social problems related to the disease and at making the artist’s work known through exhibitions, publications, and licenses of his work. In June 1989 he painted his last public work on a wall of the San Antonio Church in Pisa. This work was titled “Tuttomondo.” Keith Haring died on February 16, 1990, at the early age of 32, a victim of AIDS.
