Keith Haring (1958–1990) war eine der Schlüsselfiguren der New Yorker Kunstwelt der 1980er-Jahre und avancierte mit seinem unverwechselbaren, von Graffiti- und Comickunst geprägten Stil zu einem internationalen Star und Publikumsliebling. Seine öffentlichen (und gelegentlich auch gesetzwidrigen) Interventionen, Skulpturen und Werke auf Leinwand und Papier wurden zu Ikonen der visuellen Kultur des 20. Jahrhunderts, seine Strichmännchen und reduzierten Bildchiffren fanden auf Buttons, Postkarten, T-Shirts, Tassen und Postern millionenfach Verbreitung.
Haring war zweifellos ein überaus geschickter Selbstvermarkter, aber auch ein Mensch mit sozialem Bewusstsein. Ungeachtet ihrer plakativen Bildsprache beschäftigten sich seine Werke häufig mit soziopolitischen Themen wie Rassismus, Kapitalismus, religiösem Fundamentalismus und den wachsenden Auswirkungen von Aids auf die New Yorker Schwulenszene, einer Krankheit, der er selbst 1990 erlag.
Von den frühen Kreidezeichnungen in der New Yorker U-Bahn über sein Markenzeichen, das berühmte „Radiant Baby“, bis zu seinen Auftragsarbeiten für Swatch und Absolut Vodka, zu Bühnenbildern und bunten Stahlskulpturen – Harings Schaffen war von einer ungeheuren Vielfalt. Dieser Band lädt ein zur Begegnung mit einem Künstler, der die Kunstwelt fürchterlich langweilig fand und dessen Werke Teil einer weltweiten Pop-Kultur wurden.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. One of the key figures in the New York art world of the 1980s, Keith Haring (1958-1990) created a signature style that blended street art, graffiti, a Pop sensibility, and cartoon elements to unique, memorable effect. With thick black outlines, bright colors, and kinetic figures, his public (and occasionally illegal) interventions, sculptures, and works on canvas and paper have become instantly recognizable icons of 20th-century visual culture. From his first chalk drawings in the New York City subway stations, to his renowned "Radiant Baby" symbol, and his commissions for Swatch Watch and Absolut Vodka, Haring's work was both emblematic of the manic work ethic of 1980s New York, yet distinctive for its social awareness. Belying their bright, playful aesthetics, his pieces often tackled intensely controversial socio-political issues, including racism, capitalism, religious fundamentalism, and the increasing impact of AIDS on New York's gay community, the latter foreshadowing his own death from the disease in 1990. In this vivid introduction to Haring's work, we explore the dynamic life and innovative spirit of this singular artist, who spent little more than a decade in the spotlight, but through the accessibility of his visual vocabulary and the strength of his political commitment became one of the most significant artists to emerge from New York's vibrant, downtown community. Keith Haring spent little more than a decade in the spotlight, but in his singular blend of street art, graffiti, a Pop sensibility, and cartoon elements, he created stalwarts of modern pop culture as much as vivid social and political statements. From his first subway drawings through to his Pop Shop in SoHo, this concise introduction explores. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
