Keith Haring was an artist and activist who frequently used his art to speak about social issues.
He was one of the best known among the young artists, filmmakers, performers and musicians whose work responded to urban street culture of the 80s.
Diagnosed with AIDS in 1988, Haring established the Keith Haring Foundation in 1989 to provide funding and imagery to AIDS organizations, and to ensure that his philanthropic legacy would continue indefinitely.
The Keith Haring Foundation’s mission is to sustain, expand and protect the legacy of Haring’s art and his ideals.
The Foundation supports organizations that assist underprivileged children, as well as those engaged in education, research and care with respect to AIDS and HIV.
The Keith Haring Studio is represented by Artestar LLC, an international brand licensing and consulting firm specializing in fine art, fashion and design brands.
