ART IS FOR EVERYBODY Colorful and cartoonish. Urban and socially relevant. Contemporary and timeless at once. Keith Haring’s work has never gone out of fashion. Though he died in 1990, Keith Haring is still alive in many ways. His art is everywhere. And his art is for everybody! It was his spontaneous drawings in blank advertisement spaces in New York City subway stations which first brought him local renown – and also regard to his attitude in making art to be experienced and explored by as many individuals as possible. And his message is more relevant than ever: to make art more accessible to a wider audience. ARTIST BIO The boxset includes a short biography of the artist. A short story about Keith Haring and his attitude. He was one of the most renowned of the young artists, filmmakers and performers of his generation. His work responded to urban street culture of the 1980s. Inspired by the graffiti artists whose marks covered the city’s subway cars, Haring began to draw in white chalk over the black paper used to cover vacant advertising panels. As early as 1980, Haring began exhibiting in galleries and museums around the world but continued to participate in public projects. Throughout his career, Haring produced murals, sculptures and paintings to benefit hospitals and underprivileged children’s groups. THERE ARE NO LIMITS TO WHAT A PERSON CAN DO. Faceless figures – without reference to gender, race, religion or sexual orientation. Different but equal beings. They all celebrate life, in which they contribute as individuals to the whole. Haring's humorous iconography reflects the euphoria and oppression, fear and hope of life. Emotions that could not be more actual than ever. Whether Haring expressed himself in his street art on sex, racism, religion or diseases, the artist stimulated dialogue and often controversy. Even though he died in 1990, he is up-to-date today with this message: There are no limits to what you do. A spirit which also makes up Märklin: to exert fascination for young and old. Across generations. Across any boundaries.
