As an artist, Keith Haring has probably had the most influence on my work. His work on the sexual-phobias that erupted from the AIDS epidemic is provocative and relevant still today. This introduction to the artist, from the wonderful people at Taschen, is a worthwhile addition to any art lover's library. This particular anniversary edition is lovely because the book has been enlarged and it allows the reader to get a clear look at the work to decipher some of his more complicated pieces. The author not only documents Haring's life, but allows the reader insight into some of the pieces. Haring was adamant that his job was to produce work that was accessible to many. The viewer is meant to place their own opinions on the work and come to an understanding on their own. However, with some of the more complicated or abstract-looking pieces, it is nice to have the author there to act as a guide. I simply love this book. I have no complaints. If you're a Haring lover or a curious art lover, this book is a worthwhile contribution to your library.
