During the 1980s, Haring drew hundreds of chalk images on black paper that covered unused advertising spaces in New York City’s subway stations. These iconic images found their way into his graffiti murals that reside in major museums around the world. He is renowned for his commitment to community and public art that is mirrored in the Haggerty Museum of Art’s commitment to inclusivity and accessibility. More information about the creation of the Haggerty’s “Construction Fence” by Keith Haring can be found at the Google Arts & Culture site. https://bit.ly/haring-construction-fence
