Additional Information

"Untitled" is an illustration from one of the best-known artists from the 20th century, Keith Haring. Keith Allen Haring (May 4, 1958 – February 16, 1990) was an artist and social activist from Pennsylvania whose work was influenced by the New York City street culture and graffiti art of the 1980s. A 1997 Vanity Fair article states that "some of his most characteristic imagery involved figures twirling around and playing together, happy but never aimless." Since Haring's early death from AIDS-related illness in 1990, images he created that speak about racism, drug addiction, AIDS awareness and tolerance have become iconic. "Untitled" was created to promote NYC Heritage of Pride. It is an organization that advocates for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender equality and awareness. The dancing figures with male and female symbols has been used as the logo for Heritage of Pride.
