In his too-brief life (1958-90) and career, Keith Haring developed a highly recognizable as well as both commercially and critically successful form of pop art that has had a lasting impact on the art world. His neon colours, iconic forms such as the ‘radiant child’, and his nervously kinetic graphic style make his work instantly recognizable and memorable. Cognate with the older Andy Warhol, Haring was comprehensive in his attention to and then redistribution of popular imagery, whether from the street, advertising, club culture in New York City, or television. Like Warhol, his New York fellow traveller Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-88), and collaborator Kenny Scharf (1958- ), however, Haring did more than replicate the vibrancy of urban society. He created his own language of icons and spun them into a lasting activist commentary on contemporary social issues, especially HIV /AIDS in the 1980s (complications from which led to Haring’s early death).
