Description: Revolutionary and renegade, Keith Haring was an artist for the people, creating an instantly recognisable repertoire of symbols - barking dogs, space-ships, crawling babies, clambering faceless people - which became synonymous with the volatile culture of 1980s.

Review Quotes: "...reading the second book Mr. Doonan recently published, "Keith Haring," about the prolific late artist, underscores an idea I have long held to be true: Biography is the best self-help... Mr. Doonan is a populist with a love of glamour, and you cna see his deep admiration for Mr. Haring, whose path exemplifies certain ideas Mr. Doonan holds dear." - The New York Times Book Review
