Keith Haring opened up pop shops when he was alive & wanted his work to be accessible to the widest possible range of people both during his lifetime and posthumously through the Keith Haring Foundation. He didn’t like that his art could only be afforded by wealthy collectors.
The Keith Haring Foundation, which gets the bulk of the profits from products using his work, supports not-for-profit organizations that assist children, as well as organizations involved in education, prevention, and care related to AIDS.
