Keith Haring, the iconic American artist and social activist, rose to prominence in the 1980s with his bold, graphic style and instantly recognisable visual language of radiant babies, barking dogs, and dynamic figures. Emerging from the New York subway scene, Haring transformed public spaces into canvases that communicated messages of love, unity, and activism. His work bridged the gap between street culture and the fine art world, addressing pressing social issues such as AIDS awareness, apartheid, and inequality with a spirit of accessibility and optimism. Today, Haring’s paintings, drawings, and prints are represented in leading museum collections worldwide and remain highly sought after on the art market.
