Keith Haring (May 4, 1958 – February 16, 1990)

Keith Haring hit the New York Art Scene in the ‘80s and became an integral part of a community of artists who were changing the way art was received. His approach to public art garnered him a special connection with his fans. He’s remembered not only for his art but for his body of work that extended past the galleries and museums and into the arenas of activism and children’s advocacy.

We had fun celebrating Keith’s work by putting our own spin on some of his recognizable paintings. Have a look see.

His legacy of work continues on through the Keith Haring Foundation. To learn more about the foundation and Keith, please go to www.haring.com.
