Revival

Andy Mouse, 1985 by Keith Haring © Keith Haring Foundation

Haring was very popular from the mid 1980's on. He was a real presence in NYC first through the drawings he used to do in chalk on the black matte surfaces of empty subway advertising panels. These drawings brought him recognition and gallery shows. He and Jean-Michel Basquiat, his friend have had a return to popularity recently.
