Haring, Keith
American painter, muralist, and cartoonist, 1958-1990
Perhaps more than any other artist associated with the corporate art boom of the 1980s, Haring has become one of the most popular. His simple, cartoon images and flat color, executed in a graffiti-like style appeared as sculptures, decorative accesories, and on the running "Spectacolor Billboard" in Times Square, New York (1982). Haring died of AIDS in 1990.
