Keith Haring was an American artist and social activist whose work responded to the New York City street culture of the 1980s by expressing concepts of birth, death, sexuality and war.
Haring's work was often heavily political, and his imagery has become a widely recognized visual language of the 20th century. Recently, Needham, Mass.-based Enservio Select was asked to provide a replacement value for his “Fun Book.”
Haring was born and raised in Pennsylvania, and was schooled in New York. He became a world-class artist known for his jigsaw-puzzle-like works which he said were a “cartoon of a cartoon.” He passed away in 1990 at age 31 from AIDS-related complications. Although there is no catalogue raisonné for him, his estate is administered by the Keith Haring Foundation.
