Product Description
IKeith Haring 2009/i presents the radiant babies and barking dogs ubiquitous on skateboards, jackets, and Swatch watches during the 80s. Each month includes paintings as well as drawings and street art. One of the most popular artists of his time, Keith Haring's devotion to developing a truly public art would take his work from the canvas of New York City+s streets and subways to murals all over the world.PA part of the proceeds of any licensing of Haring imagery goes to the Keith Haring Foundation whose mandate is to provide funding and imagery to AIDS organizations and children+s programs.

A bargain! August 24, 2001

I know a bargain when I see one. Sussman's book juxtaposes Keith's drawings and paintings alongside interviews with Keith's contemporaries (they even bring in Junior Vasquez), without any attempt at being complete. The price is lowered because of a black Sharpie line on the top of the pages. That's it! If you have any interest in Keith Haring or even art in general, this is a great way to look at a great artist.
hip-hop, you dont stop July 19, 2001
carol housel (north carolina)
a collection of keiths works, from the beginning to the very end. installations, sculptures, as well as his paintings on buildings and objects grace the pages of this large format book. a definite for every fan of this kutztown boy. describes keiths life through letters and stories from friends, photos, and many beautiful full color works by the artist. bright and bold, just like his life.

This is a book I picked up at the Whitney exhibit in 1997 - it's a great variety of all Keith's work. His style has varied over the years and this book does a great job showing his evolution. My favorite part is the fact that many of his pieces from his youngest years are included. It's always interesting to see where your favorite artist started.

A VERY COMPREHENSIVE LOOK AT WORKS FROM THE WHOLE OF KEITH HARING'S RELATIVELY SHORT CAREER, YOU GET A DEFINITE FEELING OF HIS WORK CHANGING BEFORE YOUR EYES. THE TEXT, OF WHICH THERE IS AROUND 20 PAGES, MORE THAN ADEQUATELY SUMS UP THE THEMES AND AIMS OF THE ARTIST . THERE IS ALL YOU COULD WANT REALLY:p ART HISTORICAL CRITICISM( WITH FREQUENT REFERENCE TO THE ONSUING PLATES) INTERVIEWS WITH KEITH HARING HIMSELF A FULL LIST OF ALL THE EXHIBITIONS AND STREET ART HE DID SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY 182 PLATESpYOU GET A REAL FEEL FOR WHAT THE ARTIST WAS ABOUT, SO WOULD BE AN IDEAL FIRST BOOK ON KEITH HARING, AND A GOOD REFERENCE BOOK FOR THE ART HISTORY STUDENT!
