He subsequently established himself as a gallery artist with an international reputation. As well as working in the more traditional gallery mediums of drawing, painting, collage and print he also designed theatre back drops, record covers and produced many public murals as well as producing and selling smaller affordable items in his own 'Pop Shop' in down town Manhattan. His cartoonish style lends itself particularly well to posters. Haring produced this poster in 1989 a year after his own diagnosis with AIDS. This was also the year in which he established the Keith Haring Foundation in support of children’s charities and organizations involved in education, research and care related to AIDS. ","physicalDescription":"Poster with three yellow graffiti figures with pink crosses covering their torsos standing in a line. The figure to the left covers their eyes, the middle their ears and the right their mouth. A banner running across the top reads 'IGNORANCE = FEAR' and a banner across the bottom reads 'SILENCE = DEATH' followed by a pink triangle and 'FIGHT AIDS ACT UP'.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Keith Haring","id":"A15889"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"AAT251917"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[],"techniques":[{"text":"screen printing","id":"AAT53281"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Screenprint","categories":[{"text":"Posters","id":"THES252963"},{"text":"LGBTQ","id":"THES266921"},{"text":"Health","id":"THES48942"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2016JF6014"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"WS001","id":"THES388375"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"poster","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"USA","id":"x29333"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1989","earliest":"1989-01-01","latest":"1989-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Robert D Farber","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"610","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"1090","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"This poster was given to the museum by artist, photographer and AIDs activist Robert D Farber.
