About
Pop culture pioneer Haring launched his career with chalk-drawn pictures on unused subway advertising sites, before quickly making the crossover to (often political) public art: his murals include a section of the Berlin Wall, a huge snake wielding a hypodermic needle in Barcelona, and the large-scale Crack Is Whack on FDR Drive. Returning to recurring themes of sexuality, war and the human life cycle, Haring sold his iconic imagery at his own-brand Pop Shop, one of the art world’s first forays into unabashed commercialism.
