      Seine Arbeiten erlangten erst sehr spät Anerkennung, obwohl Keith Haring bereits in jungen Jahren ein ungewöhnlich starkes Talent als Zeichner entwickelte. Im Kunstverlag Weingarten erschienen nun die ersten beiden Bücher einer neuen Geschenkbuchreihe mit den typischen Zeichnungen des 1990 verstorbenen Künstlers. Das Buch DANCE zeigt deutlich, dass der Tanz einen gewaltigen Einfluss auf Harings unverwechselbare Graffiti-Kunst ausübte. Kurze Auszüge aus seinen Tagebüchern, im englischen Original, stehen neben den ausdrucksstarken Zeichnungen. Mit einfachem Strich bringt Haring wirksam tänzerische Charaktere hervor, von Hip-Hop schwingenden Hühnchen bis zur Ballerina in vollendeter Arabeske.

      By the time of his death from AIDS at the age of 31, Keith Haring (1958-1990) was already a wildly successful and popular artist. Haring's original and instantly recognizable style, full of thick black lines, bold colors, and graffiti-inspired cartoon-like figures, won him the appreciation of both the art world and the general public; his work appeared simultaneously on T-shirts, gallery walls, and public murals. In 1986, Haring founded Pop Shop, a boutique in New York's SoHo selling Haring-designed memorabilia, to benefit charities and help bring his work closer to the public and especially street kids, with whom he never lost contact.
