Free South Africa, 1985 Giclee Print by Keith Haring at AllPosters.com

Internationally acclaimed artist Keith Haring (1958-1990) catapulted to fame during the 80’s art boom when his graffiti-inspired chalk drawings appeared in New York subway stations. A sculptor, painter, graphic artist and muralist, his art’s pulsating energy and explosive colors embody the vibe of New York street culture. A compulsive worker, Haring created murals and sculptures in the U.S. and in foreign countries, often slaving over the details from concept to completion. Painting with the exuberance of a precocious child, he marked this kinship as an activist for children, as he also was involved with AIDS-related organizations.

Street life in New York City, drugs, nuclear weapons, AIDS, apartheid… no topic was off limits to Haring, who made social activism a central component of his artistic career. Original work was offset lithograph on glazed poster paper, 48 x 48 in. 1985
