CRACK IS WACK PARK

Pop artist and New York resident Keith Haring produced graphic and colorful public art that quickly made him one of the most popular New York figures of the 1980's. In those two short years he had created and refined a visual imagery that was political, poetic and celebratory. Crack is Wack Park exemplifies Haring's ability to work within a neighborhood to develop pride and community. In this instance he worked with neighborhood youth to create the Crack is Wack mural. Keith Haring died in New York on February 16, 1990 at the age of 32. He has marked NYC with his enthusiastic and spirited murals.
