From chalk drawings deep in the New York City subways to murals in Pisa and Berlin; collaborations with William Burroughs and the famous body painting of Grace Jones, this book follows the incredible trajectory of Keith Haring¡¦s artistic career: how a young man from a small town in rural Pennsylvania came to revolutionize the art world¡Xand the course of art history¡Xwithin little more than a decade. An incredibly prolific artist, Keith Haring created countless bold, provocative, endearing, and unforgettable images that continue to inspire artists¡Xand delight children¡Xworldwide.
