Keith Haring (1958–1990) was an American artist whose bold visual language became an unmistakable part of the 1980s New York art scene. Born in Reading, Pennsylvania, and raised in nearby Kutztown, he studied briefly at the Ivy School of Professional Art in Pittsburgh before moving to New York to attend the School of Visual Arts. Immersed in the city’s subways, clubs, and activist circles, Haring developed a practice that fused street culture, graphic immediacy, and social engagement. His early chalk drawings in subway stations rapidly earned him recognition, leading to major exhibitions, public murals, and global visibility.
Haring’s style is defined by its graphic clarity, rhythmic linework, and universal symbolism. His imagery—radiant babies, barking dogs, dancing figures—emerges from thick black outlines and flat, high-contrast fields of color. While deceptively simple, these forms carry potent layers of meaning, addressing themes such as joy, community, sexuality, and social justice. Haring’s approach bridges the gap between fine art and popular culture, embracing accessibility while maintaining a strong conceptual and political core.
The artwork shown here features one of Haring’s iconic dog motifs, presented in stark black-and-white against a striking red background. The figure’s bold contour and dynamic, angular posture give it an urgent, almost vibrating presence, typical of Haring’s energetic line. The simplicity of the form—no shading, no interior detail—creates an instantly recognizable silhouette that functions like a symbol or glyph. True to Haring’s visual vocabulary, the piece radiates immediacy and playfulness while also reflecting the artist’s belief in the power of images to communicate directly and universally.

Keith Haring
Keith Haring began experimenting with his bold, graphic lines and cartoon-inspired figures on the walls of New York City subway stations in the early 1980s. He called them his “laboratory,” places to develop a radical new aesthetic based on an ideology of creating truly democratic public art.
Haring’s paintings, prints and murals address the universal themes of death, love and sex, as well as contemporary issues he experienced personally, like the crack-cocaine and AIDS epidemics. They derive much of their impact from the powerful contrast between these serious subjects and the joyful, vibrant pictographic language he uses to express them, full of dancing figures, babies, barking dogs, hearts and rhythmic lines, as well as references to pop culture.
To make his art even more accessible, in 1986, Haring opened the Pop Shop in Soho. In a foreshadowing of today’s intermingling of art and fashion, the shop sold merchandise and novelty items featuring imagery by Haring and contemporaries like Kenny Scharf and Jean-Michel Basquiat. While his works sometimes included text, for the most part, he chose to communicate through drawing.
“Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times,” Haring once declared. “It lives through magic.”

UNTITLED late 20th century mixed media Abstract canvas
By Julian Schnabel
Located in New York, NY
Julian Schnabel was born in 1951 in Brooklyn, New York, to a father of Czechoslovakian descent and a mother from New York. After graduating from the University of Houston with a BFA, he began his artistic career in New York City. He was provided an artist’s studio through the Whitney Independent Study Program. He moved to Houston, Texas for a year, where he created his “first adult painting”, composed of oil, wax, and paste shaped on a canvas. This was the beginining of his signature artistic style, using pre-existing and unconventional materials to create his art.
His first solo exhibition was at the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston, Texas, in 1976. He moved back to New York City working as a cook, then spent time travelled in Europe, where he was fascinated by Caravaggio and Fra Angelico; these influences led lead to Schnabel’s creation of ten wax paintings in Milan. After another trip to Europe a few years later, he was inspired to create his now-famous plate paintings. The plate paintings incorporated smashed plates and later glass and porcelain to adhere onto a canvas, painting on top of them and thereby mixing objects with flat surfaces. Schnabel’s paintings often use unconventional materials, like velvet or putty. His work is featured in various US and international museums and galleries in New York City, including Switzerland, London, Los Angeles, Paris, Munich, and more.
In 1990, Schnabel directed and wrote his first film, Basquiat, a biopic following the life of friend and fellow artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. He continued to create other films such as The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, At Eternity’s Gate...
