Much of Haring’s work responded to contemporary social and political events, and he used his art to advocate for various causes. He contributed to bringing recognition to Street art through monumental public works that are now displayed in museums. His artwork Stop Aids and Ignorance = Fear 1989 are among his most powerful symbols that conveyed important messages.

However, his legacy lives on through exhibitions such as the one at the Albertina in Vienna that explores the secret language behind his art. The Retrospect, 1989 is another tribute to Haring’s incredible contributions as an artist and social activist. Best Buddies is yet another piece where he depicts youthful innocence with purity and goodness themes. Overall Keith Haring has had a tremendous impact on pop art with much crossover appeal even today for newcomer generations being inspired by him year after year gaining fresh new audiences all over again.
