Keith Haring, (born May 4, 1958, Reading, Pennsylvania, U.S.—died February 16, 1990, New York, New York), American graphic artist and designer who popularized some of the strategies and impulses of graffiti art. After a brief period studying at the Ivy School of Art in Pittsburgh, Haring moved to New York City in 1978 to attend the School of Visual Arts. With fellow artists Kenny Scharf and Jean-Michel Basquiat, Haring immersed himself in the punk clubs and street art scene of New York.
In 1981 he began drawing graffiti in the New York subways. These would eventually number in the thousands, and they quickly created a popular following. In 1986 Haring opened a store called the Pop Shop in New York City, where he marketed products that ranged from T-shirts and pin-on buttons to original prints. He opened a Tokyo branch of the shop in 1988. Haring was socially conscious, and his murals often reflected his position on social issues. He sought to raise awareness of AIDS and fought against the proliferation of illegal drugs. He died of complications of AIDS at age 31.
