Keith Haring (American 1958-1990), 'Bill T Jones & Company', 1982

Keith Haring rose to prominence in 1980s New York within the East Village art scene alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Jenny Holzer. He bridged the gap between the art world and the street, graffiting city subways and sidewalks before committing to a studio practice. Haring united the appeal of cartoons with the raw energy of Art Brut artists such as jean DuBuffet as he developed a distinct pop-graffiti aesthetic that comprised energetic, boldly outlined figures against solid or patterned backdrops.
