Basic Art Series: Keith Haring

TASCHEN has been carrying the Basic Art Series since 1985 with a passion for art and architecture. "Haring" includes everything that artist Keith Haring has left behind in terms of works and impressions. Haring's works are characterized by graffiti as well as comic art and he quickly became one of the most important artists in New York in the 80s. The influence of socio-political themes such as racism, capitalism and AIDS can also be recognized. Haring is a great self-marketer and it is not long before his figures can be seen on all kinds of postcards and textiles. This book offers an extensive look at Haring's works and career.
