Original production cel setup, inspired by the works of Keith Haring, from a 1991 \"Sesame Street\" production in cooperation with the Keith Haring Foundation.
Keith Haring (1958-1990) was a pre-eminent artist and social activist whose work responded to the New York City street culture of the 1980s. His work was adapted into a series of six animated segments for Sesame Street produced by Bill Davis.
Upon moving to New York City in the late-1970s, there he was greatly inspired by the graffiti art, and additionally studied at the School of Visual Arts. Many of his works as a pop artist show homoerotic themes.
The Keith Haring Foundation, established in 1989, continues Keith\'s legacy of giving to children\'s organizations.
A Haring mural from the interior of the Milliken Clubhouse was featured in a Sesame Street segment from Season 23 about the word EXIT. (EKA: Episode 3006)
Keith Haring sadly died in 1990 of an HIV-related infection.

Keith Haring helped usher in graffiti art as a major art movement in the USA.
Artist Keith Haring was born on May 4, 1958, in Reading, Pennsylvania. He moved to New York City in 1978 and began using the city as his canvas, making chalk drawings in subway stations. His art was eventually seen everywhere from public murals and nightclubs to galleries and museums around the world.
He was also known for his activism in promoting AIDS awareness. He died of AIDS-related complications on February 16, 1990, at age 31.

This ORIGINALART CEL is nicely framed and UV marked for future identification, so please ask if you have any further questions before offerding, since all sales are final to protect the provenance and chain of custody of this great & unique piece of art.
Despite the social activism that is commonly associated with the AIDS and gay rights movement and Haring\'s artwork, one of his characters, actually derives its origin from Christianity. Although Keith Haring was raised in a Protestant household, he encountered and voluntarily joined the 1970s \"Jesus Movement\" in his youth. Its followers were known as \"Jesus People,\" or more commonly \"Jesus Freaks.\" The movement was evangelical and their message was to spread the word of Christ. It was predominately anti-church and anti-fundamentalist, and was also characterized by their anti-materialism and extreme compassion for the poor...this is part of a large piece of art that hangs in a New York museum, but they believe the flying man represents Jesus flying to heaven.
By his late teens, Haring\'s involvement with the Jesus Movement ended, but it still left an influential mark on his art. Haring\'scharacters first appeared in his work as a subway artist. Though the image is clearly an influence of the great impact of his ideology and religion, it is also a vague and ambiguous interpretation, drawing roots from its \"redemptive imagery into more pessimistic and ambiguous statements.\" It is largely symbolic of \"Haring\'s hope for the future and also his continuing interest in the Messianic powers of Jesus.\"
He first received public attention with his public art in subways. Starting in 1980, he organized exhibitions in Club 57. The exhibitions were filmed by the photographer Tseng Kwong Chi. Around this time, \"The Radiant Baby\" became his symbol. His bold lines, vivid colors, and active figures carry strong messages of life and unity. He participated in the Times Square Exhibition and drew animals and human faces for the first time. That same year, he photocopied and pasted around the city provocative collages made from cut-up and recombined New York Post headlines. In 1981, he sketched his first chalk drawings on black paper and painted plastic, metal and found objects.
By 1982, Haring established friendships with fellow emerging artists Futura 2000, Kenny Scharf, Madonna and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Haring created more than 50 public works between 1982 and 1989 in dozens of cities around the world. His \"Crack is Wack\" mural, created in 1986, is visible from New York\'s FDR Drive. He got to know Andy Warhol, who was the theme of several of Haring\'s pieces, including \"Andy Mouse.\" His friendship with Warhol would prove to be a decisive element in his eventual success, particularly after their deaths. In December 2007, an area of the American Textile Building in the TriBeCa neighborhood of New York City was discovered to contain a painting of Haring\'s from 1979.
In 1984, Haring visited Australia and painted wall murals in Melbourne (such as the 1984 \'Detail-Mural at Collingwood College, Victoria\') and Sydney and received a commission from the National Gallery of Victoria and the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art to create a mural which temporarily replaced the water curtain at the National Gallery. He also visited and painted in Rio de Janeiro, the Paris Museum of Modern Art, Minneapolis and Manhattan. He even designed a jacket worn by a pink-wigged Madonna for a performance of her song \"Like a Virgin\" for the TV dance program Solid Gold.
When asked about the commercialism of his work, Haring said: \"I could earn more money if I just painted a few things and jacked up the price. My shop is an extension of what I was doing in the subway stations, breaking down the barriers between high and low art.\" By the arrival of Pop Shop, his work began reflecting more socio-political themes, such as anti-Apartheid, AIDS awareness, and the crack cocaine epidemic. He even created several pop art pieces influenced by other products: Absolut Vodka, Lucky Strike cigarettes, and Coca-Cola. In 1987 he had his own exhibitions in Helsinki and Antwerp, among others. He also designed the cover for the benefit album A Very Special Christmas, on which Madonna was included. In 1988 he joined a select group of artists whose work has appeared on the label of Chateau Mouton Rothschild wine.
Haring also created public murals in the lobby and ambulatory care department of Woodhull Medical and Mental Health Center on Flushing Avenue, Brooklyn. A rare video of Haring at work shows his energetic style. Haring wrote: \"I am becoming much more aware of movement. The importance of movement is intensified when a painting becomes a performance. The performance (the act of painting) becomes as important as the resulting painting.\"
Haring was openly gay and was a strong advocate of safe sex; however, in 1988, he was diagnosed with AIDS. He established the Keith Haring Foundation in 1989, its mandate being to provide funding and imagery to AIDS organizations and children\'s programs, and to expand the audience for Haring\'s work through exhibitions, publications and the licensing of his images. Haring enlisted his imagery during the last years of his life to speak about his own illness and generate activism and awareness about AIDS. In 1989, at the invitation of the Lesbian and Gay Community Services Center to join a show of site-specific artwork for the building, at 208 West 13th Street, Haring chose the second-floor men\'s room for his mural Once Upon a Time. In June, on the rear wall of the convent of the Church of Sant\'Antonio (in Italian: Chiesa di Sant\'Antonio abate) in Pisa (Italy), he painted the last public work of his life, the mural \"Tuttomondo\" (translation: \"the whole world\")
In July 1987, Haring visited an AIDS specialist. In 1989, he began injecting himself with alpha interferon on a daily basis. On May 1, 1987, he cited rumors that were circulating throughout the art community about his status. Haring\'s friend Tony was \"still worried because the Art World gossip hotline still says I have AIDS... If anything causes me tension and stress it\'s him, not staying up late or working hard. I live for work.\"
Haring\'s diagnosis was never a secret; it was public knowledge and an accepted part of his persona in the media. Those publicly shared thoughts were reflected, often with more depth, in his work. Despite all the fear that led up to diagnosis, in some ways Haring found his impending death liberating. It pushed him to produce more work as quickly as possible. In a 1989 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Haring stated, \"That\'s the point that I am at now, not knowing where it stops but knowing how important it is to do it now. The whole thing is getting more articulate. In a way it\'s really liberating.\" Critics have recognized this about Haring\'s works, particularly his later works as well. \"Haring\'s way of living life liberated and with death in mind at a young age allowed him to pull himself away from his diagnosis,\" Blinderman writes. \"A year after his original diagnosis he was producing radiant paintings of birth and life.\" The introduction to the compilation of Haring\'s journals sings the same song: \"Haring accepts his death. For in his art he found the key to transform desire, the force that killed him, into a flowering elegance that will lie beyond his time.\"
Haring died on Friday February 16, 1990 of AIDS-related complications. As a celebration of his life, Madonna declared the first New York date of her Blond Ambition World Tour a benefit concert for Haring\'s memory and donated all proceeds from her ticket sales to AIDS charities including AIDS Project Los Angeles and amfAR; the act was documented in her film Truth or Dare. Additionally, Haring\'s work was featured in several of Red Hot Organization\'s efforts to raise money for AIDS and AIDS awareness, specifically its first two albums, Red Hot + Blue and Red Hot + Dance, the latter of which used Haring\'s work on its cover.
