“Art should be something that liberates your soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further.”-KEITH HARING
SemioticsSigns and Symbols
“I am intrigued with the shapes people choose as their symbols to create a language. There is within all forms a basic structure, an indication of the entire object with a minimum of lines that becomes a symbol. This is common to all languages, all people, all times.”
-- Keith Haring
Paintings
DrawingsDrawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times. It brings together man and the world. It lives through magic.”-KEITH HARING
SUBWAY DRAWINGS: GRAFFITI
“Art is nothing if you don’t reach every segment of the people.”
Sculpture
“The public has a right to art. The public is being ignored by most contemporary artists....Art is for everybody”-KEITH HARING
This mural (1986) on handball court at 128th Street and 2nd Avenue was inspired by the crack epidemic and its effect on New York City. It was created as a warning and was initially executed independently, without City permission. The mural was immediately put under the protection and jurisdiction of the City Department of Parks and still exists.

Haring was diagnosed with AIDS in 1988. In 1989, he established the Keith Haring
Foundation, its mandate being to provide funding and imagery to AIDS organizations and children’s programs, and to expand the
audience for Haring’s work through exhibitions, publications and the licensing of
his images. Haring enlisted his imagery during the last years of his life to speak
about his own illness and generate activism and awareness about AIDS.
He died in 1990 of AIDS related complications at the age of 31.

Keith’s memory and artwork lives on in museums, public spaces, and
murals, all around the world to this day.
“I think as much as possible, an artist, if he has any kind of social or political concern,
has to…expose as much as possible what he sees so that some people think about things that they don’t normally think
about… [Art] should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination
and encourages people to go further.” -Keith Haring
