Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of 100 illustrations includes Keith Haring's most important posters, an art form that suited his distinctive talent and his conviction that art was for everybody. In an era when art and art lovers were busy taking themselves seriously, Haring emerged as a refreshing presence whose bold and playful work often carried a sobering message. AIDS prevention, gay rights, apartheid, racism, drug use and environmental protection were all issues that Haring cared about deeply and he sought to bring them to the public's attention in arresting ways. In addition he lent his trademark images to advertise numerous concerts, sporting events, and exhibitions.
