Keith Haring
Keith Haring began experimenting with his bold, graphic lines and cartoon-inspired figures on the walls of New York City subway stations in the early 1980s. He called them his “laboratory,” places to develop a radical new aesthetic based on an ideology of creating truly democratic public art.
Haring’s paintings, prints and murals address the universal themes of death, love and sex, as well as contemporary issues he experienced personally, like the crack-cocaine and AIDS epidemics. They derive much of their impact from the powerful contrast between these serious subjects and the joyful, vibrant pictographic language he uses to express them, full of dancing figures, babies, barking dogs, hearts and rhythmic lines, as well as references to pop culture.
To make his art even more accessible, in 1986, Haring opened the Pop Shop in Soho. In a foreshadowing of today’s intermingling of art and fashion, the shop sold merchandise and novelty items featuring imagery by Haring and contemporaries like Kenny Scharf and Jean-Michel Basquiat. While his works sometimes included text, for the most part, he chose to communicate through drawing.
“Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times,” Haring once declared. “It lives through magic.”

- "It's the Altitude", James Rizzi, 3d Lithograph, 26x36 in., Pop Art, Snow SkiingBy James RizziLocated in Dallas, TXJames Rizzi (1950-2011) 3D Construction Lithograph from 1989. "It's the Altitude" has the edition of A/P (Artist Proof). The Construction measures 26x36 and is finished in a gold frame with a red liner and brown suede matte. This piece retails typically for $14,500. This piece is James Rizzi's perception of an American snow skiing town with lots of traffic on the streets with cars and busses and people everywhere walking with skis or skiing on the mountain tops. The town is equipped with a ski shop, tea house, chocolate store, an art gallery, a saloon, and much more! James Rizzi's prints are a living and breathing part of the city where he was born and raised. In these prints, the excitement, noise, congestion, and pace of city life translate into pictures of extraordinary vitality and exuberance. Viewed from a distance Rizzi's prints appear bright and joyful; close up they reveal a myriad of precisely defined details - children playing, cars, vendors, rooftops, boats, sails - woven into a throbbing narrative of daily life that we can all enjoy, regardless of whether we live in the city or country. Rizzi has described the style of these childlike, three-dimensional prints as "urban primitive...Category
