When, in the mid-80s, the AIDS epidemic ravaged much of the New York art community and Keith Haring’s peers, he used his work to bring awareness to this devastating reality. After himself being diagnosed with AIDS in 1988, Haring created the Keith Haring Foundation to raise money for AIDS awareness and treatment research as a way to continue his charitable pursuits and activism after his death.
