Keith “His originality and inventiveness, his most
animated and recognizable figures and iconography
are among the most loved and prized images in the
art of our time.”

Emblematic Artist of
the 20th Century

aring’s now famous Crack is Wack mural, originally painted in 1986,
has become a New York City landmark. Haring is the emblematic
anti-elitist artist who believed that art should be accessible to
all. His public career began in 1980, when he rendered fun, eye-
catching political-philosophical art on the streets and subways of New York.
