(**) 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 Pittsburgh, and at 19, already openly gay, he moved to New York City, where he found inspiration in graffiti art and enrolled at the School of Visual Arts, where he was influenced by Keith Sonnler and Joseph Kosuth, who encouraged him to train as a conceptual artist after experimenting with form and color. Haring drew public attention in 1980 when he began sketching cartoon-like images with markers on the subways of the Big Apple, and later drew white chalk cartoons on black panels used for advertising, which led to more than one arrest. His clean lines, vivid colors, and active figures conveyed strong messages about life and unity, and his exhibitions were filmed by photographer Tseng Kwong Chi. Around the same period, he organized an exhibition at Club 57, and participated in a show in Times Square, where he first drew animals and human faces. His first solo exhibition was at Tony Shafrazi Gallery in 1981, the same year he participated in Documenta 7 in Kassel, Germany. In 1982 he befriended emerging artists of the time such as Kenny Scharf, Madonna, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and even met the famous Andy Warhol. In 1984 Haring traveled to Australia and painted several murals in Melbourne and Sydney, and even received funding 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 perform 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 took part in the Paris Biennale. He appeared in November of that year on MTV, painting on a program hosted by his friend Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran. In 1986 he painted murals in Amsterdam, Paris, Phoenix, and Berlin; he also painted Grace Jones’ body for her music video “I’m Not Perfect,” and opened a shop to sell his works in SOHO. By then, his works began to reflect the socio-political issues of the era, 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 benefit album “A Very Special Christmas,” on which his friend Madonna was involved. In 1988 he was included in a select list of artists whose works appeared on the labels of Château Mouton Rothschild wines, and that same year he was diagnosed with AIDS, which led, the following year, to the founding of the Keith Haring Foundation, whose aim was to combat social issues related to the disease and to bring the artist’s work to public knowledge through exhibitions, publications, and licensing of his work. In June 1989 he painted his last public work on a wall of the Abbey of San Antonio in Pisa. This work was titled “Tuttomondo.” Keith Haring passed away on February 16, 1990, at the early age of 32, from AIDS.
