Keith Haring 25th Anniversary Book Key Features Keith Haring (1958–1990) was a pivotal figure in the New York art scene of the 1980s. His distinctive style fused street art, graffiti, pop sensibilities, and comic elements, creating memorable visual icons. Known for bold black outlines, vibrant colors, and dynamic imagery, Haring s work spans public interventions, sculptures, and canvas or paper pieces, becoming instantly recognizable symbols of 20th-century visual culture. From early chalk drawings in subway stations to commissioned pieces like the "Radiant Baby" symbol, Swatch watches, and Absolut Vodka ads, his art reflects the energetic labor ethic of 1980s New York while engaging with social issues. Despite their playful appearance, Haring s works often addressed controversial topics such as racism, capitalism, religious fundamentalism, and the AIDS crisis affecting the LGBTQ+ community, foreshadowing his own death from illness in 1990. This book offers an insightful look into Haring s vibrant life and innovative spirit, highlighting his rapid rise to prominence within New York s lively downtown community. Authored by Alexandra Corossa, who studied art history, German literature, and business in Trier and earned her doctorate in 2003, she has been a freelance writer and contemporary art curator since 1998. Residing in Duren, Germany, she brings a scholarly perspective to her work. The hardcover edition (ISBN 978-3-8365-1356-5) is in used condition with signs of prior read
